About David

I’m David Gravel, a News Writer for SiGMA, based in Malta, but forever a proud Yorkshireman.

For over two decades, I captured the world through the lens as a professional photographer, travelling across Europe. Then life threw me a curveball, Brexit, followed by the pandemic, forcing a dramatic rewrite of my story. During those turbulent times, I channelled my energy into academia, earning a First-Class Honours degree and a Master’s in Creative Writing. Those chapters have opened the door to an exciting new phase of my life.

Writing is my passion. When I’m not crafting stories for work, I’m either immersed in a novel or daydreaming about my next creative venture. My Piscean nature adds a touch of magic to my work, fuelling my creativity and helping me weave meaningful connections through words.

Currently, I’m immersed in my latest adventure—writing the first in a trilogy of cosy crime novels with a twist. Alongside my creative pursuits, I’m a passionate advocate for mental health, committed to promoting inclusivity, respect, and giving everyone a voice in all that I do.

Life’s taught me it’s never too late to reimagine your story. So here I am, doing exactly that. One page at a time.
