Jeff Pratt
At school I was told by my English teacher that I had no imagination.
Years later, I thought, "I've got an idea. No, I've got lots."
So I just started writing. I thought the story was great but I paid for a critical review and they said it was rubbish bar one chapter which they assumed someone else had written.
So I did nothing for a while.
Then I got into Sudoku and thought why not write a novel that centres around a puzzle. I got that reviewed and received some favourable feedback.
I wrote another about a Scrabble puzzle and almost got an agent on board before the world crashed in 2008.
I now publish independently and have had a bit of success, but still hopeful.
I now need to understand marketing through social media etc.
