Learn your craft. It's not just about ideas and storytelling, but you have to back it up with great grammar, correct spelling, interesting plot points and relevant sentence structure. Plus, you should be aware that writing the book is only the first step. To have your book seen, you need to know about marketing and business.

My favorite aspect of being a writer is being able to create a world with my imagination. It is wonderful to be able to create characters, environments, sights, smells and sounds that carry the reader to another place.

"Coconut" details the effects of racism on a child and his family. The past few years this country has experienced an epidemic of racism. What younger audiences may not be aware of is how rampant it has been throughout American history. "Coconut" takes place in the 1960's and 1970's, a time when many people of color were still not accepted -- despite being born in America.
