Bryn Donovan, 56, has always known she wanted to be an author since she was 8 years old. Despite the common fading of childhood dreams, Donovan has never given up on her goal, illustrating her determination and passion for writing throughout her life.
'What do you want to be when you grow up?'When faced with this question, some children know exactly what they're going to say. They respond without hesitation, saying they want to be a vet, a teacher, while some have a more outlandish career path to become an astronaut.For many, these goals often fade into the ether, and they pass them off as silly childhood dreams .
When it was finished, she saw that publishing company Berkley had an open submission period, allowing people to submit their work without an agent. She gave it a shot—what did she have to lose?'I was writing to cheer myself up and get my mind off work. It was more fun than anything else I'd ever written. I went ahead and submitted on a whim, and then forgot all about it. After that, I got a two-book deal with a major publisher,' Donovan said.
