Hi. My name’s Harvey Hamer, I’m twenty-two, and from South East England. I’m a proud contributor to Star Wars Insider and Vlogger Beat.
I’ve been writing outside of school since I was ten, though telling stories has been a passion since before then! When I was twelve, I started self-publishing novellas on Amazon, and for six years I just kept going! They were initially authorised novelisations that soon branched out to an interconnected universe of twenty-two books across three main series.
Since leaving school, I’m pursuing traditional publishing, and also trying this newsletter stuff out. In that time I’ve been working on three novels and some comics, as well as writing three screenplays through a couple of online courses and a six-month one at MetFilm School in London.
I’m a big fan of large sci-fi/fantasy universes with complicated timelines, as well as our own Earth’s history and mythologies. And that’s what I write too! I’m also a fan of exercising, listening to music, and reading everyday (though not always at the same time!), and own just a small collection of Star Wars memorabilia and Lego… I swear!
I'll be using this newsletter to share monthly updates about my writing journey. And every other Sunday I ask a guest to share their favourite Star Wars story and favourite historical site in 'A Long Time Ago...’.
