Julius Thompson grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York and attended Bushwick High School. The sixties in Brooklyn was an era that had a personality, a feel, and a life-force that changed a generation. Mr. Thompson felt this energy and experienced these fires of social change.

Mr. Thompson’s journey to compose a trilogy began in 1995. The fictional journey of character Andy Michael Pilgrim from Brooklyn, to Philadelphia and finally Atlanta is now complete. In this pilgrimage, readers experience places that are filled with hopes, dreams, challenges and fears that make us human.

The novels that make up the trilogy are A Brownstone in Brooklyn, Philly Style and Philly Profile and The Ghost of Atlanta. Mr. Thompson won the 2011 Readers Favorite National Gold Medal Award in General Fiction for The Ghost of Atlanta. Mr. Thompson also received the Georgia Author of the Year nomination for Philly Style and Philly Profile, from the Georgia Writers Association, and The Ghost of Atlanta.

I have been editing fiction for 9+ years, editing about 60 manuscripts, half of which have been published. Of those, 4 or 5 have won gold medals for best fiction in their genre. Advice, whatever you do, do not rush the process. I believe the slow turtle wins the race when it comes to writing and publishing your hard work. Feel free to check me out in LinkedIn. If I can help you, give me a holler.

I also co-authored a book written by my pal, Julius Thompson, entitled JUMPSTARTING YOUR INNER NOVELIST. Julius and I provide something that I believe is rare. If you email or call us, we will try our best to help you jump your writing hurtle.

Julius Thompson and I have written a fantastic manual to help new writers and seasoned writers as well. Every creative individual has, at one time or other, hit their creative rock bottom. This manual may be able to help you hit your high note.

I have known Julius for five plus years and I have edited all of his books. It only made sense for Julius to ask me to co-author Jumpstarting. I have contributed two articles, the importance of good grammar and a few editing do's and don'ts.

This manual is so much more than just a motivational tool. This guide will provide you with a set of tools to help you address issues such as developing captivating scenes, creating vivid, descriptive, specific details, living in the setting, editing, grammar and other crucial elements to help you write a potentially successful novel.

I truly believe that we offer the reader/writer something that few may have taken the time to offer. Purchase your copy today. Feel free to contact us at any time with comments or suggestions. We are here for you!
