ABOUT Y. M. NELSON

I’m Y. M. Nelson, based in Charlotte, NC and I write about love, women’s journeys, and amateur DIY. After I spent most of my writing “career” ghostwriting for companies and realized there were no passionate verbs in company instruction manuals, I decided to produce and share my own work with the public.

I wrote the Owen & Makayla romance story series, and now I’m working on two novels: The Accidental Swipe, a romantic comedy based on my #MyTinderSeries blog serial, and Living Between Dreams, a women’s fiction novel and book one of the Living Between Dreams series. I’m an English professor and have a day job to support this writing “habit.”

Currently, most of my books and stories are published under the One Creative Summer Press imprint. For more information on what’s to come or to receive an ARC, visit the Contact page.

“Writing Through Career Transition” started as a catharsis/rant/resource about my situation at the time: dealing with a (non-writing) job layoff while trying to find that unicorn known as a successful creative writing career. It transitioned (pun noticed) into a resource for all things writing related–my journey, resources for other writers, and writing Q&A.

Today the blog has since blossomed into a showcase of romance and women’s fiction works by way of .giff-happy reviews–while still being somewhat of a rant on writing and update on unicorn sightings. (Featured on Charlotte Five.com)
