U Be U (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545523322)

A freelance author with over 25 years of experience "on the beat" in more ways than one, Billy Soden transformed from a writing hobbyist into a professional communicator of the written word. This former music teacher and community educator combine a creative style of storytelling and a witty nuance to any niche. "I am a survivor of writing education curriculum and policy, grant writing for the fine arts, marketing copy for quarterly community events and classes, and successfully transitioned from paper post-it notes to on-screen post-it notes." Billy Soden Billy currently writes for the world's largest non-profit independent television and media company. Based in New York City, with a global audience of nearly 15 million, Soden's stories contribute to the shared vision of uniting humanity, hope, and freedom through the authoring of engaging stories that portray the intensely compelling unification of all humankind and the planet. Soden has also been published in local and national magazines and been a repeated feature blogger on a global website with more than 1.1 million daily readers. Founder of "Hope Dealer," his current project includes the authoring of the book, "Hope Dealer," an inspiring message for those who struggle to the depths of despair and hopelessness through the stories of perseverance, recovery, and personal prosperity from the life of its author. Born with a trombone in one hand and a pen in the other, Billy's passion for writing developed early in life. Professional, versatile, and creative, Billy has coined the term "Beatbusker" and labels himself as such. "I'm a hybrid writer," Soden explained, "kind of a cross between a beat reporter and a street performer (a busker). I know all of the words; you just have to put them in the right order to make them get up and dance!" Positive and inspired, Billy Soden is indeed the "Beatbusker" of the writing world.
