By Donna Galanti

Becoming a novelist was a dream come true. I had found my calling. In doing so I lost the one thing I had loved all my life. Reading. Hard to imagine, right? Since I was six years old I used to sit and read a book from beginning to end. I would be lost in it. My world was magically changed. Movies were created in my mind.

By Donna Galanti

Jerry Waxler, M.S. author of “Four Elements of Writers,” considers himself a writing-activist, trying to convince people that if they want to write, they ought to overcome obstacles and “just do it.” Jerry answers questions today about how he became interested in helping writers help themselves. Why are you so passionate about reaching out to writers? When I was 18, I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up, a doctor. By the time I was 24, I was living in a garage, preparing Read more [...]
