George Bernstein

Biography

I have a B.A. from Northwestern University, and am the ex-president of a publicly held Chicago company. I now live in south Florida, where I divide my time with writing novels, working with wood (my 3-car garage is a cabinet shop), and punishing myself by playing golf. I am also a “World Class” fly fisherman (12 World Records), and have published articles in Saltwater Sportsman magazine. I have recently self-published Toothy Critters Love Flies, the who-what-where on fly-fishing for pike & musky, which has received excellent reviews. I am a serious novelist, and have attended numerous writers’ conferences and Donald Maass’ (famous author’s agent) “Break-out Novel” seminar, all aimed at improving my craft. I have worked with independent editor, Dave King (Self-Editing for Fiction Writers), who was a great help in my developing my “voice.”

Smashwords Interview

When did you first discover you were a writer?
In High School. It was always my papers that were read to the class in English. I’ve always had a vivid imagination, partially sparked by my sister, Iris, who made up interesting stories to tell me when I was younger.

However, it took attending classes at several writers conferences and a seminar by ace fiction agent, Donald Maass, to sharpen my skills and show what made great writing. Talent alone isn’t usually enough… a sad lesion infrequently learned by self-published debut authors
What is your favorite part of writing?
Getting emotionally involved with my characters... making them come alive. When I can cry and laugh with them, and choke up at tense moments in the story, I know I’ve done the job well. Giving good characters little faults, and finding something a little redeeming for villians.
