David is a writer from Northern Ireland. His pursuit of a career in journalism began with the realisation that there was already a famous guitarist with his name and that a degree in English should be put to some use. Developing an obsession with all things Hemingway and Orwell, he abandoned his job. He now makes a living writing for various media websites and publications. He may write a novel someday and enjoys eating burritos by the Lagan. You can follow his thoughts and tweets here: @dmgilmour.
