About the Author
Jen Talty
co-created Cool Gus Publishing with
NY Times
Best-Selling Author Bob Mayer, and runs the technical side of the company. She is a published romance author, and teaches Creative Writing at various writing conferences across the country.
Jen grew up in Rochester, NY, a city with the highest murder rate per capita in the entire state. With notorious cases such as The Alphabet Murders, The Genesee River Killer (Arthur Shawcross), The Murder of Kali Ann Poulton by Mark Christi, and the case of funeral homes stealing body parts from corpses awaiting cremation, Jen became fascinated by the darker side of human nature. She brings this fascination to her romances, creating dark villains who wreak havoc on the hero and heroine, and producing page-turning suspense.
Jen received a BS degree in Business Education with a concentration in Marketing and Sales from Nazareth College of Rochester. She taught Business Applications at both the high school level and in Continuing Education. She was a co-leader of Distributed Education Clubs of America and worked with students in developing marketing, sales and public speaking skills. After leaving the teaching profession, she worked as a product and sales trainer for various hardware and software companies such as 3Comm, HP and McAfee, and was the regional merchandising representative for Buena Vista Entertainment.
Cool Gus Publishing
was formed as a vehicle to launch Bob Mayer’s backlist into digital publication. It was built on the notion that
writers produce the product, readers consume the product and everything else is in between.
The 21st century has brought the rise of the digital author. It is time to take control.
Write It Forward
, a division of Who Dares Wins Publishing was formed because both Bob Mayer and Jen Talty believe the two most important people in the publishing business are the
writer
and the
reader
. The key to being successful in a business where 99% of what is submitted or self-published is rejected or fails is education and understanding.
Write It Forward
is dedicated to giving writers the tools and information they need to increase their chances of success. It truly is a great time to be an author.
