Matt Whelan grew up near Chester, North West England.<\/p>\n

At the age of ten, his father handed him a copy of The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, which he spent the next two years reading (with the help of a dictionary). This kicked off a long-lasting love of the fantasy genre.<\/p>\n

Wanting to share this passion with his own children, he created an interactive fantasy adventure which was accessible to his six-year-old son and hence Adventure Quest was born.<\/p>\n

In 2004, Matt discovered an online game called Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and was instantly hooked. He has now been playing the game for two decades and is an active member of the FPL community, having written two books – and countless articles – on the topic.<\/p>\n

Matt regards himself as fortunate to be able to make his living from the written word. He has since retrained as an editor, proofreader, SEO analyst, and copywriter.\u00a0 He co-runs a digital marketing company called Mapped Out Media.<\/p>\n

When not writing, he can be found spending time with his wife and two young children.<\/p>\n
