About Me


Tricia Psarreas was born and raised in Lynn, Massachusetts, where she began her educational background and her love for writing. In 2006, she earned her B.A. in English with a concentration on Professional Writing from Ellis College of New York Institute of Technology. She graduated summa cum laude with a 3.94 GPA and was recently named as her school’s most outstanding graduate.
Freedom’s Rein is Tricia’s debut book, but it is not her introduction to the writing world. Tricia has ghostwritten dozens of books and e-books, over 1,000 book reviews, more than 500 movie reviews, and thousands of articles on various subjects. She also owns a successful freelance writing company, The Brighter Writer, with influential clients from six different continents.
Shane Sellers spent 26 years as one of the country’s greatest jockeys, both on the track and behind the scenes. He battled his way through the powers to increase jockey weight limits and reduce the growing amount of eating disorders, fought for endorsements so that his fellow jockeys would not risk their lives for a mere $50 per mount, and pushed for better insurance for the men who risk their lives for every race. In return, Sellers was banished from the sport in hopes that he would keep his secrets and his goals to himself.
Now Sellers is back and he has an amazing story to tell. Welcome to the secret world of horse racing; a place where heaving bowls and sweat boxes cover every jock’s room, horses run numbly towards their final destinations, and one man continues to battle for what he knows is right.

When I created The Brighter Writer, my main goal was to change the face of the freelance writing world. I strongly believe that individual writers are much more effective than large companies, but sometimes writers need a bit of help. For that reason, The Brighter Writer is made up of a team of freelance writers and editors who have banded together to provide you with the best business experience possible.
Our unique collaboration system makes it easy for us to combine our areas of expertise to guarantee you the most accurate, unique, and specialized products imaginable. You can feel confident knowing that I take the time to approve and finalize all projects before you receive them, thus ensuring that all projects will have a unified feel - no matter how many people lend a helping hand.
We at The Brighter Writer are specialized in a variety of academic fields and we are expert researchers in every subject area. When we complete a project for you, we always use the best resources, databases, and respectable libraries in the industry.
We thank you for considering The Brighter Writer for all your literary needs and invite you to visit our official site for a complete list of all writing, editing, and additional services we currently offer.
