Outskirts Press has had the good fortune to work with many talented authors over the years. We feel it’s important every now and then to give a nod to the authors who’ve made us so proud. For that reason, we enjoy featuring an author in our regular Self Publishing Author Spotlight.
This week we’re proud to feature Outskirts Press published author Raven Magwood, author of Double Sided and The 7 Practices of Exceptional Student Athletes.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
As a 13-year-old sophomore in high school, Raven Magwood wrote Double Sided in the span of just a few short months. Little did she know that the fictional story would go on to be the inspiration for a feature-length film. Since writing Double Sided, the 20-year-old author, speaker and screenwriter has traveled the country, speaking to youths, parents and corporations about unlocking their full potentials. Using her own stories of defeat and triumph, Raven tells her audiences, “If you are dedicated to something you love, determined to work hard, and disciplined to plan how you’ll get there, then you can achieve success.” For more information about Raven Magwood, please visit http://www.RavenMagwood.com.
