Ollie is just beginning his first year at university, studying English. He is an avid writer and critic of others' works, who strives to produce prose that others will remember as being different and unique. He has yet to publish his first novel, but has no intention of resting until long after that milestone is reached. He also likes talkative cats, playing the piano, and producing videos on a YouTube gaming channel he runs with his brother.
