Amanda Jessi asked Glynnis Campbell:

What really spurred you to become the author you are today? For the longest time in my youth, I wanted to be a Literature teacher because of my obsessive love of reading. Then I found out that, unfortunately, teachers don't make much so I ended up in the Legal field. I know, two far from each other spectrums!! Lately, I've wanted to get into the field of work where the author writes, and you review and edit, etc..

Glynnis Campbell Interesting career path! I'm not sure from your question whether you want to write, review, or edit books. They're quite different processes. But all of them are real jobs. It seems like the easiest way for you to slide into the literary field is to specialize as a literary attorney! You would get to interact with authors and learn about the business. Then, if you decided to pursue writing yourself, you'd have a solid background in the legal end.
