author:  Chris Stead 
description: Writing has been a part of Chris Steads life since he was very young. In fact, he won the creative writing award way back in Year 3 at school as a seven-year-old. During his senior school years, Chris wrote constantly, be it stories while he was sitting at his desk in class not concentrating on the teacher, or writing up news reports on all the sports and experiences the kids in his local neighbourhood enjoyed every day. Fast forward a little and Chris media career could only be described as diverse. Spanning publications and clients as broad as Maxim Mens Magazine to the University of NSW to Game Informer Australia and Krash Kids Magazine he has spent 20+ years writing and editing across the Australian media industry. In 2014, Chris launched a new chapter in his writing life. He founded his own company, Old Mate Media, and launched the first of a range of childrens books in The Wild Imagination of Willy Nilly series. Chriss vision for the company is that other aspiring writers who would like to create their own digital publications  no matter what the topic  will enlist Old Mate Media to help them turn their dream into a reality.
