WRITER, EDITOR, GAMER

I'm Matt, a 32-year-old fiction writer and editor from Northern Ireland, currently working on my first novel THE SHADOWS AT SUNRISE. I'm living with depression, anxiety and avoidant personality disorder (AVPD), so I try to write about my experiences. I'm an avid gamer and love talking about the games industry. As a contributing editor for The Mighty, I edit articles for the mental health section and believe sharing our stories is crucial to ending stigma.
