Hi folks, I'm Andy, based in London, UK. Coming to you from the world of videogames and Youtube, I'm one of the founders and on camera faces of the popular YouTube channels Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra, which boast millions of subscribers and close to 2 billion views. Also big into tabletop gaming as part of the UK's biggest Dungeons & Dragons actual play group Oxventure!
Horror writing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I've recently been working hard to create stories that draw on my unique experiences as a Youtube personality to create chilling tales for a modern audience, influenced by A24, Blumhouse, Tales From the Crypt, and Black Mirror. One of these stories, Hotline to Heaven, was the first place winner of this year's Killer Shorts horror writing competition, and I'm passionate about developing as a writer, seeking representation, and finding a way to get my stories in front of as many people as possible.
Looking forward to being a part of Stage32!

Millions of subscribers and close to 2 billion views. WOW! Congratulations! And congratulations on Hotline to Heaven placing first in Killer Shorts! I entered Killer Shorts a year or two ago. I've been thinking about entering again. What's your favorite Horror sub-genre to write?
Do you have contacts in the video game industry? I have a video game script ready and am working on the bible.
