Justin Myers is a writer and columnist for titles including GQ and the Sunday Times Style. His debut novel The Last Romeo is a sort of modern gay Bridget Jones based, in part, on his own experience of anonymously blogging about his dating life for several years as The Guyliner. Although Justin is no longer dating, his blog lives on and instead focuses on the dating lives and “Impeccable Table Manners” of those who feature in the Guardian’s Blind Dates column. He’s also big on Twitter, crediting it with giving him the career he currently enjoys and racking up more than 106,000 tweets in the ten years he’s been using it.
