Hello everyone I'm 41 and I'm new to the profession of writing but I have had a passion and talent for writing since I was a child. I currently attend Empire State College to receive my BA in Literature and Creative Writing. I currently write poetry but am expanding to write short stories and children's picture books. I also want to include a nonfiction creative writing piece as well, as opinion pieces on topics I'm passionate about or wanted to learn more about. I self-published my first book and look forward to publishing many more.
