About S. A. Soule

I like to call myself a “Creativity Coach” because I enjoy nurturing writers and helping them to find their full potential as authors. My passion is to encourage fiction writers to express themselves better through the written word. I like to help writers become awesome storytellers and find the positive.

I’ve been writing most of my life, and even though I’ve studied the craft for years, I still love developing my skills as a writer, and I’m assuming since you’re browsing this site that you do, too.

First, I thought I’d share a little about myself…I have over fifteen years of experience on all sides of the publishing business. I was a Creative Writing major, and I previously owned an eBook publishing company where I edited over a hundred manuscripts. 

Then I worked as a developmental/acquisitions editor for another publisher, and in the last five years, I’ve even worked as a developmental editor and had the honor of editing books for a number of successful authors. Recently, I have become a graphic artist and started designing custom books covers and premade book cover designs for self-published writers and indie authors on a budget at SwoonWorthy Book Covers. So I consider myself a  long-time industry veteran. Plus, I have been traditionally published, published by a small press, and now I am a proud indie author.

I’ve currently written eleven fiction novels and eight nonfiction titles, but it wasn’t until 2015 that I became a bestselling author, and the road to success was a long journey. Many of my books have spent time on the 100 Kindle bestseller lists and some of my fiction has been chosen as top picks in the “Best Paranormal Romance” categories at several prominent review sites.

This blog is my way of sharing some of the wisdom that I’ve gleamed from various workshops and online courses, along with the savvy advice from other bestselling novelists and professional editors with whom I’ve had the pleasure to work with in the publishing industry.

And just in case you guys didn't already know...

Besides being both a fiction and nonfiction author, I also have a full-service business for self-published writers that includes manuscript conversion (eBooks and PDF print), developmental editor, book cover design, blurb writing, and some book marketing/promo services.
