Patti Hultstrand

Patti has been writing since the 7th grade when her English teacher took active interest in her poetry and short story writing. She became hooked when one of her short stories was published in the local library literary magazine. Her first love became science-fiction when she was introduced to the works of Ray Bradbury.

Fandom bit her when she actually met the man behind the works in 1987 at a special engagement speech in Phoenix, Arizona. She had taken many of those writing tips and life examples to apply in her everyday life. "Never stop to edit, just keep writing until you're done, then go back and edit, and edit, and edit again until you're satisfied."

Patti has been applying some writing in almost everything she has done from that time forward. She has written in college papers, literary magazines, public relations articles, business proceedure manuals and having even gone as far as having published her own magazine in Arizona Marketing. Her writing had become publishing, where she was contracted to publish real-estate magazines and other trade magazines from her own graphic design business.

She has been working for a print shop in Phoenix for over ten years, while continuing to work on the side in her own business as the work came to her. "Word of mouth advertising is the best and cheapest form of advertising." Patti has relied on much word of mouth to gain clients as they came to her.

Marketing, advertising, writing, printing, public relations, fandom, and publishing experience has had years to mold itself in something larger and more important than any other project she's attempted. Weavers of Dreams is not just another online bookstore, it's designed to assist new or struggling authors a better opportunity to sell and reach a wider range of readers. This is going to be the iTunes for books, the cohesion of a writing community who has been bullied, lied to and has had some of their dreams bought out from under them by the gluttonous companies who have been praying on those dreams. We are the weavers, not just the dreamers.
