Outta the Gate Writing was created to help those who want to become paid writers.  I always knew I wanted to be a writer, but actually publishing my writing was a daunting task.  I spent more time learning about my new trade than actually honing it, which is why I felt the need to create Outta the Gate Writing.  During my career I did some things right and some things wrong; hopefully, my advice will steer you in the right direction.  This site is constantly evolving, so stop back often.

Outta the Gate Writing was created to help new writers.  If there is something that you're looking for that isn't found here, contact me to let me know what it is that you need.

By the way, Outta the Gate Writing is named as such because I wanted to be a successful writer RIGHT OUTTA THE GATE!  I wasn't; I fumbled around for a year racking up a long list of mistakes and feeling lost.  Then, I actually took the advice of others, did things the right way, and felt like a real writer.  I still wasn't.  It took over a year of constant querying, the right way, before I got a magazine to accept my work.  Somehow, I learned from my fumbling and I see success.  My crowning moment was an unheard of moment when I acquired a publisher for my book on my first query--right outta the gate.  See, dreams do come true.
