Brooke St James On The 5 Things You Need To Be A Successful Author or Writer
Patience — Success doesn’t come overnight, although it often appears that way when you’re looking at another person’s success. Set your sights on a big goal and use the little victories along the way as stepping stones to get there.
Some writers and authors have a knack for using language that can really move people. Some writers and authors have been able to influence millions with their words alone. What does it take to become an effective and successful author or writer?
In this interview series, called “5 Things You Need To Be A Successful Author or Writer” we are talking to successful authors and writers who can share lessons from their experiences.
As part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Brooke St. James.

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Before we dive in, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your ‘backstory’ and how you got started?
My writing journey began with a vivid dream I had years ago. It was the type of dream that really stuck with me, something I could remember all the details of after I awoke. I was explaining this dream to a friend of mine later in the day and she said that it sounded like it would be a great book. That struck a chord with me and my writing journey began that very same evening.
