For more than twenty years, YA author and freelance writer Victoria Perkins has been navigating the writing world, from teaching to publishing to conventions, and the number of times she’s been asked some form of this question has only grown. With so many books out there about how to write perfect plots or the secret formulas to sales, she decided to put together a more generalized book that answers many of the common questions she’s been asked, covering everything from the differences between plot-driven and character-driven writing to the legalities of AI-generated art, from common writing mistakes to suggestions about what to take to events.
If you’ve ever had a writing question you wanted to ask someone who’s been there, this is the book for you.
Victoria Perkins began writing at a young age and story-telling even younger. After graduating from Kent State University with a BA in English, Perkins held numerous jobs, including working customer service and teaching at a private school before, in December of 2012, she began to work full-time as a writer-for-hire.
She has five standalone young adult novels as well as a six-book series, Star Riders, two short story collections, a collection of plays, a book on writing, and a cookbook that she wrote with her mother and grandmother
In her work as a writer-for-hire, she has contributed to hundreds of short stories, novellas and full-length novels for clients all over the world, some of which have made various best seller lists. She makes her home in Northeastern Ohio near her family.
