SAY HELLO

The Rest Of The Story...

Aside from a short-lived (and ill-advised) plan to be a marine biologist and work as a whale trainer at Sea World, Ruth had always hoped to be a writer when she grew up. As soon as she learned to put words on the page, Ruth was writing, whether it was fantastical stories about dragons with her childhood best friend or poems about the natural world. In fourth grade, when one of those poems won an elementary school contest, her mind was set. She was going to spend her life immersed in the written word, shaping her own stories and those of the people around her.

"One thing that most people outside of writing and publishing don’t know is that if you are doing it right, a writer faces constant rejection...The best thing a writer can do is continue to write and submit their work, and eventually, when the stars align, their words may reach an audience."
