David Gulbraa decided he would be a writer at the age of eleven and never looked back.

From the former publisher of Radical Romantic magazine and author of Ebenezer Smith, Angel Detective, here is the story of a lifetime spent in the literary trenches, a no-frills portrait of a wordsmith grunt face down in the mud and forever on the outside looking in. Here Gulbraa tells the stories of:

  • The greatest rejection slip he ever received
  • The greatest writing experience of his life
  • The most pages he ever wrote in a single day
  • How he met one of his favorite writers before he'd even read him
  • How he accidentally became a pornographer
  • How the Ayn Rand Institute saved his life
  • How becoming a born-again runner led to his becoming a born-again writer
What does it mean to live a literary life? Gulbraa delivers the unvarnished truth about the pitfalls and rewards of devoting yourself to a lifetime of writing.

If you want to be a writer, read Gulbraa and find out what you're in for.

If you're just looking for a good story, Gulbraa delivers and then some.
