About the author
I’m a 7’9″ male. I like to fly kites and drink fine wine. At the same time.
I’m a haiku enthusiast. Even the Japanese kind.
Other hobbies of mine include new-age banjo music, shark-jumping, bare-knuckle boxing with bears, the flugal horn, beet cultivation, ab-building, bacon artistry, professional corn-holing, self-pity, base jumping, polar bear dipping, salsa dancing, bus riding, saving African children from various diseases and wild carnivorous plants with my bare hands, and Sudoku puzzles.
Okay… I admit. I lied about the Sudoku. I suck at Sudoku.
On this blog, I’ll be cataloging the epic journey from manuscript to novel (hopefully) and along the way, posting funny/important posts concerning writing, the publishing industry, and the daily life of Derek Berry. Which never fails to excite.
Subscribe now… and catch up on the fun adventure on which I will embark (likely to Jupiter).
Your “biography” made me laugh, and I needed a laugh today. Followed! Look forward to reading more of your stuff.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I’m subscribing, but only because I’m interested in beet cultivation.
Fair enough. I’ll try to post something soon about that.
Keep up the great work!

Hi Derek,
I looked for an email address to contact you but couldn’t find one. I’m wondering if you’d be interested in writing a guest post for my blog, Dodging Commas?
Happy writing!
Stef
Yes, sure. That sounds like fun. I’ll e-mail you, and then you shall have my e-mail address to contact me.

Why, thank you.
