Children’s author Tom Becker creator of Darkside, explains how he got started to Dolores Gordon-Smith
I always wanted to be a writer. I wrote stories as a child (usually thinly veiled rehashes of whatever book I’d just finished reading) and progressed to truly dire efforts as a teenager and university student. I had completed three full manuscripts by my early twenties, not one of them close to being publishable. Writing was an organic art for me; at that point I knew nothing of the process of getting published, and trusted that eventually I would write something so good that doors would magically fling open for me.
