I've always loved writing and wanted to be a novelist when I grew up, but my parents convinced me there was no money in that and urged me to choose a more "practical" career. I ended up majoring in English and Psychology, little knowing I was getting the perfect degree for content marketing. I didn't even know what content marketing was. I thought I wanted to work in publishing, figuring if I couldn't make a living writing books, maybe I could make a living publishing them. Unfortunately, I graduated in 2009, right after the job market crashed. There were no jobs to be had in publishing ... or really anywhere else. I was a receptionist and I worked in customer service, but they were jobs, not careers. When I found myself between jobs, my roommate's dad, who was an attorney, offered to give me things to do around his office until I got back on my feet. One of the things he needed was someone to write blog posts for his law firm. He knew I had a strong writing background, so he offered me the gig, and I was more than happy to get paid to write. After six months, he told me I had brought in $75,000 worth of business for his law firm, just from the blog posts I was writing for him. After a while, I started writing for an associate of his, and then for some friends of mine. I did get another day job, but I kept writing on the side, and my client list kept growing until I knew I couldn't do both any more, so I quit the day job to devote myself to writing full time, and I've never looked back.
