About C.Y.
Born in Scotland, C.Y. Reid moved to London at the age of four. Since then, he has torn himself from the academic system with a degree in English with Media Writing. Throughout his uni years, he wrote games journalism for a wide variety of sites, from The Escapist to IGN.
Post-uni, he began working for an SEO agency. NaNoWriMo rolled around in November 2010, and after years of novel attempts and short stories, he decided to sit down and get it done. The end result was his first full-length novel.
He regularly writes short fiction, and his currently scouring his manuscript, purging it of any unwanted purple prose and cliche action sequences. He can be contacted here, and you can find him on Twitter at @ReidFeed.
