What makes me qualified to give you advice? How am I different from any other guy or gal on the internet? Well, I do have a few unique writing qualifications.
I have been writing on and off since I was eight years old. My first newspaper article was published in the local paper when I was nine. I began my first novel at twelve. Sure, that book didn’t go anywhere but it was the beginning of a life long love of written works.
“I know a very little about a lot of topics.”
My background is the fantastic combination of writing practice and business guru. I have a BA in Journalism and an MBA with a focus on Global Studies and B-Corps. My life experience has been an eclectic mix so far, which provides a strong basis for inspiration. Some of my past work experiences include: journalism, marketing, technical writing, business management, CEO and law enforcement. How did I manage to live such a full life in my thirty one years? I like to say it is because I know a very little about a lot of topics. The truth is much simpler: I said yes. I said yes to myself. The other reason, I knew when and where to ask for help. I knew how to research answers from both known professionals and the business world. Because of my background in business, I am able to sniff out which resources to take with you and which ones are better off left behind.
Currently, I have one short story and one novel self-published on Amazon. They are under a pseudonym at the moment; however, I will be releasing them on this page soon. I am in the process of having my first manuscript (really, the first one I ever wrote!) published by Champagne Book Group.
Besides myself, I will be asking author friends and seasoned professionals to offer up some of their advice to prospective new writers. I have a true belief that we are not in competition with each other. Authors have enough negativity to deal with in daily rejection letters. We need a place to help each other, share our ideas and rock the literary world. I want to share my knowledge and love of researching to help you. Hopefully you will find some of this useful and spread the information like wildfire.
