I used to write between lunch breaks at my corporate job. Now my income as a best-selling romantasy author supports my family
Bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer left finance to write romantasy full time. A decade later, life without corporate stability can still feel scary.
Brigid Kemmerer, a NYT bestselling author of young-adult and romantasy novels, once wrote during lunch breaks while working in finance with three children. In 2016, she sold the book that allowed her to quit her corporate job. Kemmerer, now 48, has been a full-time author for the past decade and has published over two dozen books.
As a full-time writer, she acknowledges the fear of losing corporate stability, but her income now supports her entire family. Despite the financial challenges, Kemmerer values the creative freedom and loves her current career.
