About Me
My name is Samuel X Brase. This website was designed to document my many failures and few successes on the path to becoming a professional fiction writer. I majored in creative writing in college, and upon graduating I began to use my degree to collect dust. I was laid off in the beginning of 2009 from my job and remembered that once upon a time, I wanted to be a writer. I began to write short story after short story, churning out long and not-so-long stories, and upon completion I would send them out to various markets.
I had about ten stories out when I decided it was time to shift gears, so I commenced work on a novel. This novel–a mix of young adult and science fiction–has been completed and edited, clocking in at 83,000 words. Now… queries? How’s it going, agents?
While I shop the novel to agents, I’m working on novel #2 (somewhere in the 57,000 words region) and planning my third project for when that novel is complete. So, you know, I’m busy.
I am 26, I love punk music, and I will publish a novel. Someday.
