The author, TV presenter and fisherman
Will Millard is no ordinary writer. He has lived alongside Lamaleran whalers and the Bajaus, sea gypsies. As a presenter for the British channel BBC Two, in 2016 he won the BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Presenter for Hunters of the South Seas, and in 2019 his series My Year with the Tribe won the Realscreen Award for Travel and Exploration. He has also presented series on rivers, history and urban exploration for BBC Wales, including Hidden Wales, The River Wye, The River Taff and Go Fish!
When Will Millard isn't exploring, he's writing a new book or fishing in the rivers and lakes around his home in South Wales.
