Writing is a Holy Occupation

Published: Sat, 07/30/16



Greetings, WriteByNighters!



Last week we introduced you to the three newest members of WriteByNight's staff, Bridget, Katherine, and Marie.



They are no longer the newest members of our staff. A rolling writers' service gathers no moss, folks.



Today we want you to meet our newest ghostwriter, the colorful and accomplished Sam Severn.



Sam comes to us from Snohomish, Washington, where, he tells us, he has continued his "holy quest to remain positively the lamest heavy metal guitar player still alive.”



He may be lame with a guitar, but he’s anything but when it comes to working with words. Among the best-selling books Sam has been involved in are Tears for My City and Serafina and the Twisted Staff.



“Every time I hit my keyboard it’s a high-octane one-lane highway to the Heaven of my imagination, and a trip straight to the Dark Side,” Sam says. “Each keystroke is a high-wire act, each brainstorm a hair-raising chance that I’ll crash and burn, each page a shot at reaching my highest ground and full-tilt glory. And each sentence is a chance to hold nothing back.”



No surprise, then, that Sam’s advice to writers is similarly charged.



Never surrender,” he says. “Face your fears. Trust in your dreams. Believe you can achieve the unbelievable. Writing is a holy occupation.



“Devote yourself to it.”



We agree. Check out this Q&A with Sam to get to know him better.



To have Sam write your next project for you, request a FREE consult to discuss your options now!




To your success,
