My name is Gabriel Murillo I’m 18 years old and I am from Whittier, CA. I have been writing since a very young age which all started with a song I had written when I was in elementary school. I loved writing but what made me want to become a writer was the discovery of Stephen King when I was in 6th grade, his writing has had such a huge impact on me. In addition to short stories I love writing poetry. I will be attending Cal Poly Pomona in the fall with an intended major of English Literature.
