About Me

I'm Robin Darker (they/he), a 27-year-old queer, working-class writer from Yorkshire, studying Creative Writing at York St. John University!

My primary interests are in speculative and queer fiction and poetry, but I enjoy testing my limits and branching out into other genres. 

I also ran the NIVO Insider magazine for 2 years, and I'm known for having an attentive eye for editing.

My current favourite reads are 'Mortal Engines' by Phillip Reeve, 'This Wretched Beauty' by Elle Grenier, and 'Stories of Your Life' by Ted Chiang.

Inspirational games for me include I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, Ashwalkers, and At Eve's Wake. Gimme all the 'quencies of my own actions (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

Please check out my projects on this site, and contact me if you're looking for other writing samples. Despite my online handle - HeckinRobin - I'm actually quite approachable!
