The sense of being invisible after 65 is palpable. I started my writing career at age 67. I don’t try to be a full time author who makes a living from writing, but I’m on my third book, finding an audience of women (and some men) who are just as invisible weren’t it for the fact we acknowledge each other and encourage each other to make a difference.

Thank you, Brooke. When people, thinking it’s a compliment, tell me I don’t look x (years old), I say, “Maybe this is what x looks like.” Proud first time published author at 70, I’m starting a second book. Thank you and She Writes Press for being such a champion of first time authors whatever our age.
