Candis McDow
I am 35 years old and originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I love to travel, watch movies/docs, write (of course!), paint, shop and try new experiences.
I've loved the written word since the age of six. Once I learned to read you couldn't keep me out of the library. I was so inspired by how powerful words can be, especially how they evoke emotion. I was also enamoured that I had the ability to escape my reality and live vicariously through these characters in the book.
I always knew I would be a writer, and always wanted to be an author. I had no idea what my book would be about but that was something I was sure would come to fruition.
Life inspires me to write quite often. I pull from my experiences, loved ones, friends and even strangers. You can be walking down the same aisle as someone in the grocery store and get inspired, everyone is telling a story if you just pay attention.
I like to think of my work as little seeds of myself. Each article, essay, listicle, book, or review is a representation of my being, and I always want that to resonate and come from a genuine and soulful place.
