Matthews's Biography

0c7089ef-90db-4a25-b5aa-9629f8d030f1.jpg

Most generic bios will usually start with "when I was a child..." and the story goes from there. Well, I didn't dream of being a writer since I was a child. I dreamt about being basically anything. I had so many dreams and aspirations that came and went that I never really knew what direction I wanted to go in. Though of all the directions I had, there was always one thing I always loved no matter what, writing.

​

I started off as anyone would by writing poetry, seemingly the most simple form of writing in my child eyes. As I grew up I realised how much more nuanced and complex it actually was as an art and learned how to appreciate literature in greater ways.

​

Over the next decade, I made writing my hobby. Reading books and writing my own short stories to hone my skills and understand what truly made an epic story. My breakout came at writing horror short stories, using visceral descriptions and chilling themes to make, what I believed, were some really nightmarish stories. Finally, at 19 years old, I found the courage to share my stories with the world, and the reception was overwhelming for me.

​

Seeing people tell me how I was talented, came up with cool stories, and truly affected them in the same ways the stories I read affected me, gave me the motivation to start writing my own full books. Which brings us to the present day.
