ⓘ About W. Bruce Cameron
W. Bruce Cameron is a bestselling author and columnist from the United States renowned for titles like ‘A Dog’s Purpose’. +Biography W. Bruce Cameron was born in Petoskey. Where most other boys his age dreamt of playing sports or going to space, Cameron only ever wanted to be a writer; the author actually attempted to pen a novel in fourth grade, though the task proved too difficult and he eventually gave up. By the time he was sixteen, Cameron had already sold his first story, with the Kansas City Star paying him $50 for his services. Unfortunately, if that particular victory made Cameron think that writing was easy, the notion was eventually proven false. The author would have to wait for several more years before anyone else showed interest in paying him for a story.
