🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Mike Martin
Martin has said that he wanted to be a writer for as long as he could remember. At first, he didn’t know how to go about doing that and it didn’t seem like a viable career option when he was younger. He found careers around writing as he wrote correspondence and also did some policy writing. That work led to both speechwriting and editorial positions in his future, but none of that would do the job of actually writing myself. So one day he decided to start writing. His first success was a short piece that got picked up by a magazine for $25.00 which was all the encouragement that he needed to keep going.
