Editor,

Congratulations to Brittany Geragotelis for her success in the writing world! And congratulations to her as well for her clear-headed commitment to that success.

As a former writing instructor on Whidbey and current writing coach off-island, I’ve worked with a number of “wannabes” who long for the kind of life Brittany is creating as a writer.

Too many of these folks have the dream but not the commitment and are unwilling to accept and do the hard work that’s involved.

Brittany is a model for every amateur writer who dreams of that big publishing contract in the sky.

Nobody gets one without hard work and some creative marketing of their writing.

Again, congratulations to Brittany. Her own story is a great one!
