About Me

My name is Martin Gaston. I write for various online publications. Consider this a portfolio of sorts: my latest articles will be posted to your left.

Right now I'm currently writing about games, notably for play.tm (currently rated 38,947 on Alexa). I'm keen to cover other sectors of media journalism, however.

Also, I write a column for Resolution Magazine that I've been told is quite good.

I have a rich background in copy-editing, retail and media sales from my time at university. And a 2:1 degree in English Literature with Creative Writing.

I'm always available for hire. martin[dot]k[dot]gaston@gmail.com.
