THE STORY OF SHAUN ALLAN

Shaun has been writing since he was very young (his mum would say he used to draw pictures and write the stories of what was happening), but didn't really do anything with his work for many years. Many people told him he was wasting his time. Why read a book when you can watch the movie, right? Eventually, Shaun learned to ignore the naysayers and work on that which he loved the most - writing.

​

So, he believes, don't let others put you off. Follow your dream and, most importantly, write for YOU. Even if you are the only one who ever reads your work, that's fine. Don't hold it inside you or you'll never visit those wonderful worlds or meet those amazing people in your mind.

​

After his book, Sin, reached #1 on Amazon and a Goodreads list of Books that Get You Hooked (above Harry Potter and The Hunger Games), Shaun turned to Wattpad and found a home for his writing.

​

Since being on Wattpad, Shaun has written for such movies as The Purge: Anarchy, Sinister II, The Boy, Incarnate, Stephen King's IT and A Quiet Place. Then there's Goosebumps, DC Vertigo Comics and Amazon Prime's Panic! It's been, and continues to be, an amazing time. He's a proud Wattpad Creator, a Featured Author, Originals Author, Wattys winner, shortlister and finalist! Sin is now a Chapters Interactive Stories mobile game, called Straitjacket Lover!

​

He's also an Adim Founding Creator and a member of The Globe Writing Group in Grimsby.

​

Shaun writes a variety of genres, including horror, children's and MG/YA, wherever the muse takes him. This can be in unexpected directions, such as the time he sat down to write the sequel to Sin and ended up with Rudolph Saves Christmas! He is lucky enough to have an extended family and friends from all over the world, including Wattpad staff, writers and readers who are full of support and encouragement.

​

He recently finished writing MirrorMirror and is now working on Cell, Into Darkness, CULT, Mortal Sin, Were Lies the Heart, All the Times I Died and Red Queen! Oh, and Doctor C... Oh, and The Source! He writes in the pause between his heartbeats, because there's just not enough hours in the day.
