I’m a 17-year-old published author living in South Florida. I’m a freelance journalist, but I have a steady gig reviewing books, interviewing authors, and writing feature stories for Today’s Teen Magazine (part of the Palm Beach Post). A short story and two of my poems were published earlier this year in a limited-print anthology called Will Write For Sandwiches, an un-themed compilation by 16 of Palm Beach County’s best teen writers.
When I’m not writing books, articles, or transcribing interviews I’m doing marketing consultation for newly published authors in the YA arena. This year I’ll be a senior in high school and after that I’ll be heading off to college.
I love my job as a reviewer, few things make me happier then being able to make authors cry themselves to sleep over my harsh words or jump for joy over my litany of praises. Being able to interact with many of world’s greatest new talents through Myspace has been such a blessing. If only I had enough opportunity I would expose all of you for the best-selling authors you should be!
In the meantime I’m pumping out reviews as often as I can and networking like crazy. Make sure you send me a message and introduce yourself (and your book!) once you add me.
