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.
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.
