William Rayfet Hunter is a freelance writer and junior doctor. He was born and raised in the North West of England. He studied Medicine with a Masters in Clinical and Forensic Psychology at Newcastle University. He now lives and works in East London.

His work in Accident & Emergency before, during and since the pandemic heavily informs his non-fiction writing, which explores health, race, power structures and politics. His work has been published by VICE News. His queerness and mixed British and Jamaican heritage both inform his fiction writing. He strongly believes that there are a thousand beautiful stories to be told in every human interaction.

He is working on his debut novel, which won the #MerkyBooks New Writers’ Prize 2022.
