David Graham is a popular writer from the north-east of England. He writes across a number of genres, from fiction to lyrics to poetry to non-fiction and more. He also creates content on YouTube and short-form video platforms. In combination, his readership and viewership run into the tens of millions a year.
His main non-fiction writing platform is Medium, where he has been active since 2020 and has 15,000 followers. He writes across a number of genres on this platform, from history to science to popular culture to comedy and more. He has an especial love for psychology and evolution, all of which he shares on Medium.
Due to a severe injury that he suffered to his wrists when he was younger, he has to write everything using voice dictation software, as computer keyboards kill his wrists.
Outside of writing, he runs the Knowledge of Group, which is a collection of publications and channels across Medium and YouTube, which focus on a number of different areas, from comedy to history to science to popular culture and more.
However, his true love is fiction, and he writes in the genres of sci-fi and fantasy, as well as thrillers.
He at present has a short story on Amazon Kindle called Terror on the Mind. He also plans to release a novel called Scorched Earth: The Library of Power in the not too distant future.
He has also won several short story competitions over the years, and been shortlisted in many more.
As a lyricist and music composer, he has several singles out and an album entitled Insanity vs Reality, all of which he created using his lyrics, along with a mixture of his musical inspirations and Suno AI. The vocals are not his, mainly because he does not have a strong enough singing voice – much to his chagrin.
In the past, he has done a bit of modelling. The top campaigns he has done, involved modelling for the RNLI’s Respect the Water campaign, which in his words “involved me taking my top up off, clambering out onto some rocks and then for the next hour and a half dipping my foot in and out of the sea in a manner which was tantamount to repeatedly doing a one legged squat.
Other campaigns he has done involve him fronting a campaign for Wade Opticians, which saw him modelling over a hundred different pairs of glasses and sunglasses. He has also done stock photography, as well as studio days, workshops and more.
To go with modelling, David has been an extra on TV shows, most notably George Gently and Vera, and feature films, most notably The Current War. He also worked as a photographer and still sells prints.
All in all, he is a lover of everything creative, an avid learner of everything, and has an extremely curious mind. When he’s not writing, learning or doing all things creative, he’s either in the gym or indulging in his love of classic action movies or books.
