Reasons Why I Am Your Unconventional Author…
I am young (I wrote my first book by 14, published it at 18 and kept going...) I am mixed race (not a lot of people who look like me are seen as the "author type" sadly).

Why Writers Rock!Â
Overworked and underpaid - but we do it anyway. We give life to everything. We are the creators of the lines those "awesome actors" you love say. No writers, no films or tv shows. Take nothing and make it into something. We build worlds. We bring people to life. We make many cry, laugh and… Continue reading Why Writers Rock!Â
