One evening, I was watching Oprah and I saw a young writer
speaking about her new book that was just published. I listened intently
because I had always wanted to be a writer myself. She looked directly into the
camera and said, “If I can do it, you can! If you have a desire to be a writer
you should pursue it!” That message seemed just for me. Not only did I listen
to her, but I published my first novel, Radiance:Love after Death last year
with XOXO Publishing. Let me tell you some things about her amazing story.
The world has been taken by storm these past couple of
years by this English major from Bingham Young University. Her name is
Stephanie Meyers and everyone on the
planet knows she is the author of the bestselling Twilight series. Captivated
by a dream one night, she took pen to paper and fell into writing an epic saga
of vampires, werewolves and the Voultari. The publishing world was taken by
surprise with this young mother of three boys, especially since she was of
Mormon faith and literally an unknown author.
She sent her
manuscript out to 15 publishers and got just one bite. Twilight was found in a
slush pile {rejection bin} and bought by Little and Brown for $750,000. Shortly
after, she dominated the best-seller list and Amazon deemed her the most
prolific writer of our times. In three years of publication and eight million
books later, she was now in the eyes of movie industry and Twilight came to
life on film. The rest is history.
Now, 100 million
books later, she has a couple of new titles: producer and clothing designer. She has been listed as one of the top
most influential people in Time magazine and also included in Forbes. Her
annual earnings are hovering at 50 million dollars. The unique author also
rocked the music industry by including a play list packed with bands like Muse and Linkin
Park. The writing world has changed forever. Anyone who can sell a 100 million
books is well…my hero or heroine in this case.
She gave me the courage to believe in myself and I am happy I saw her
interview that day. She inspired me to follow my heart and I hope you will check
out my book, Radiance:Love after Death that is being sold in major book stores.
