Ashleigh Belyea

Welcome!
My name is Ashleigh, which you may already know. I write short stories and novels, mostly in the genre of Fantasy/Sci-Fi. I've always had an active imagination so many years ago I decided to start putting those imaginings on paper. Now here I am with my first book almost ready to be submitted to publishers with its sequel in the beginning stages. I also regularly enter writing competitions so I'm always working on something short too.
I also have a blog called InkMess where I chronicle my writing adventures and have samples of my older work.
While I do this I'm also a university student. An English major, go figure. With only a handful of courses left, I'll soon be on my way to...likely more school.
I created this page in the hope of being able to write more frequently. I am an adult, I do have bills to pay so that means I need a job. Unfortunately, jobs take away time from my writing and from school and with most of my income going to those bills I mentioned earlier there isn't a lot of room for other expenses. Which is where this comes in, expenses like beta-readers, hiring artists for covers or illustrations to go with stories, freelance editors, maybe even an agent someday!
Thanks for dropping by!
