About the Author

W. R. Watkins was born and raised in Tunbridge Wells, UK for all of his life. He is the writer of the well received poetry books You. Are. Not. Alone., the Diary Of The Heart poetry book series, and now is poised to publish his new poetry and short story collection, entitled Photograph. ​ His passion for writing grew and developed during his time at Secondary School (Worth School), where he used his writing as a means to convey and express his thoughts and feelings. When he left Worth in 2010, he went to Aberystwyth University to study Animal Behaviour, an area that he has always had an area of interest in which came from studying Psychology for his A-Levels. He continued to develop his writing style during his time at University, and earned four Semi-Finalist awards for his Lyrics Only entries in the UK Songwriting Competition in 2013 and 2014, an achievement that is very difficult to get. During his final year in 2014, he was inspired by a close friend, to begin to put together his first poetry book collection, which after some time would become You. Are. Not. Alone., which was released in eBook format on the day after his graduation from Aberystwyth with a BSc (Hons). The book itself took half a year to complete from the initial concept to holding the final, paperback option. Writing You. Are. Not. Alone. was a cathartic experience for him, as it helped him to accept certain parts of himself, which for a long time remained private. ​ He went on to self-publish two more poetry books in 2014 and 2015, entitled An Obsessive Infatuation and Little Red Book, both of which came under the Diary Of The Heart book title. Both books had experimental elements to them. Infatuation contains chapters within it, turning all the poems into one cohesive story, something that has not been attempted to be done in poetry whilst Red Book took an unapologetic look at a year of Watkins' life, exposing his most private, personal thoughts and his writing process throughout that year.

Editorial Reviews

"Mr. Watkins is an amazing poet who knows how to bend words along the sentences and creating new ways of thinking." - Irum Zahra, Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black

"W.R. Watkins is a master. Read this book of poems. You have nothing to lose, and might just gain something." - Dawn (GoodReads)

"I felt every emotion within each poem and some made me feel dolorous.That's what a praise-worthy writer would make you feel." - Jey (GoodReads)

"W.R. Watkins has poured his own emotions into each word while showcasing various themes from love to various forms of social abuse. An incredibly magnetic read that flows from verse to verse, while allowing the reader to stop at any time to re-read or explore the meaning they discover on their own." - Dianne (GoodReads)

"When you get to the end, you'll want it to continue. You want to remain in the life of the narrator and know what happens next. A word maybe not often used about poetry, but let's hope for a sequel." - Vetle Siversten, Oliver DeVille series
