About Ash

Welcome to Ash Writes!

I’m a writer and creative freelancer with experience in both fiction and nonfiction writing. My interests cover a wide range of subjects and genres, and I enjoy exploring different ideas, perspectives, and forms of storytelling.

In fiction, I’m particularly drawn to human psychology, crime, thrillers, suspense, relationships, family dynamics, political themes, drama, and the complexities of human nature. I enjoy stories that explore people’s motives, difficult choices, hidden truths, emotional conflicts, and the forces that shape their lives. At the same time, I’m open to writing across different genres and styles. My nonfiction interests are equally broad, covering different subjects and types of writing.

I’ve actually been writing for quite some time, but I hadn’t published my own stories as books until recently. In the past, I wrote for magazines and worked on writing projects for others, including helping writers develop their books and stories. I also do freelance work involving writing and graphics.

The stories I’ve recently published weren’t all written in the past few weeks. Many were already written and waiting for the right opportunity to be shared. Someone encouraged me to start showcasing my own work on publishing platforms, so I decided to take that step and make my stories available to readers.

I’m still new to Goodreads as an author, so I’m building my presence here and learning how the community works. Thanks for your curiosity, and I appreciate you asking!(less)

Thank you for your interest in my work. 😊

The original manuscripts of the books uploaded here are no longer available to me. I had anticipated that people might repeatedly request free copies, which would eventually put me in a position where I would have to give away my work without compensation. For that reason, I did not keep additional copies of those manuscripts.

📚 My nonfiction books, particularly Understand the Mind of Code, Mystery Plot Audit, and Work Comes Back, contain deeply developed ideas and original thinking.

💡 I believe intelligence, creativity, and original ideas are extremely valuable. Not everyone has the ability to think through complex concepts or recognize their true value. That is precisely what gives a book its worth. If I were to distribute these ideas freely to everyone who requested them, it would defeat the purpose of the time, thought, and effort invested in writing them.

Regarding the fiction books, that is a separate matter. I no longer have their original manuscripts either. They are only available through my uploaded Kobo editions.

📖 If you are referring to Missing Pieces, there is something worth clarifying: Missing Pieces, The Recording, and Last Tide were actually three separate stories that I wrote quite some time ago as parts of one larger book.

✉️ You are welcome to email me if you have any questions.

When Feedback Becomes Rework: How to Recognise the Difference

Feedback is supposed to improve our work.

A client asks for a change. An editor suggests a revision. A colleague points out something that could be clearer. These are ordinary parts of working with other people.

But sometimes, the same work keeps coming back.

A small correction leads to another revision. A revised version creates a new problem. Something that seemed finished suddenly needs to be chan Read more of this blog post »
