Martin GreyMartin Grey failed English at school, and was told by his English teacher that he would never be a writer. Based in Nottingham but originally from Guildford, he is a director of World Jam, a nonprofit for connecting communities through poetry and musc, and a zine editor, event organiser and compere for DIY Poets, a Nottingham based spoken word collective. He has performed extensively around the Midlands and as far afield as Berlin and Edinburgh Fringe, where he co-ran the spoken word show A DIY Poetry Fix in 2019. He won the 2018 Southwell Folk Festival slam and his work has been featured in Nottingham City of Literature, The Poetry Archive and MudPress Christmas zine. He is a keen runner, sci-fi nerd, slightly ropey Spanish speaker, prefers tea to coffee and eats far too much cake. Sometimes he wonders if people keep mistaking him for the poet they actually wanted and are too polite to tell him, but he plans to keep going until he's rumbled. The Prettyboys of Gangster Town is his first book. He hopes you enjoyed reading it as much as he enjoyed writing it.
