Uzezi Ekere Adesite
I am first and foremost a creative writer,
before anything else. Writing has been a part of my life for almost two
decades. I cannot today imagine a profession that wouldn’t engage my writing
abilities.
Up until January 2015, I worked as a
journalist, a profession that began in 2001. Beats I covered in journalism
include art & entertainment, education, features etc.
Although I studied Mass Communications at the
Lagos State Polytechnic, my best learning process has been on the job.
One of my greatest thrills in the industry was
when I worked as an editorial executive at a publication that published
magazines and novellas. I was in charge of reviewing and approving manuscripts
that finally got published as novellas. That job and subsequent ones have
adequately prepared me for today and what readers expect when they hold a book
in their hands.
I love new experiences. I love experiencing
new writers and new thoughts; always a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, many
writers meet various challenges that hinder them from accomplishing their
writing dreams, and eventually, these dreams die away.
This is why Zayzee Writes has been birthed;
for that writer to realise that dream. I have struggled through the frustrating
process of trying to get published and getting nowhere; very discouraging. But
along the way, I have learnt a few things that have shown alternative ways of
arriving at that desired destination. And that, is why I am offering my
services.
So, come join me and
together, let us realise the dream.
