Hello!
My name is Duany (pronounced "Dwa-knee"), I live in Toronto, ON, and I am always on the lookout for my next read. I have a certificate in publishing and am currently chugging away at my Masters of Publishing at SFU. I am lucky to have gotten to intern with some great publishers, including the WLU Press and Simon & Schuster Canada. So I know lots about books and publishing.
Though I'm in my late 20s, my favourite books to read are children's and YA books. I also enjoy shoujo manga. They have such fun worlds and characters to be enveloped with! I do read adult books too, but usually only when people recommend them to me or when they're generating lots of buzz in the media.
As a teen I took forays into writing on forums like fictionpress.net and it's been ages since I've written stories, but if anyone's curious to look up stuff I've written, you can find it under my account there at http://www.fictionpress.com/u/346825/sky-bleww (which I clearly need to update as I'm no longer 17, haha). Hilariously, I had a story called "Shades of Grey" that I wrote in 2003. Too bad I never capitalized on that title like E.L. James did!
I occasionally write some poetry that mostly revolves around autumn (my fav season!). In terms of stories, I am working on something with my eldest sister, but it's something we're keeping to ourselves for the time being. All I can say is that our story is based on what's called a "letter game" where you role play as characters you create and write letters to each other as that character. It's fun to do and hopefully we flesh it out enough to share it with everybody here someday!
Anyway, please feel free to message me if you have any questions about publishing or are interested to receive constructive feedback for your stories. Books are all about community and I hope to meet more kindred spirits through this platform.
You can find me on Twitter too with my pseudonym @skybleww.
Cheers!
