Martin Wilson writes contemporary YA fiction as a form of self-help for his genre-mashup obsession. Despite never having had a head for figures, he spent two decades messing around with spreadsheets and IT project plans until his love for writing could no longer be ignored. He was awarded first place in the 2026 I Am Writing YA/Teen/NA competition and is currently working on his debut novel—a YA rom-com set in his homeland of Scotland. When he’s not busy tormenting his hapless main characters, Martin loves to indulge his three other passions in life: film, travel, reading, and scheming elaborate ways to avoid DIY. He lives in Scotland with his much more number-confident wife.
