Bailey shared that writing has always been a part of her life and that it was an honor to share her writing and stories with a new generation.

“I’ve been inspired by writers who have gone before me so hoping that I can give a little inspiration and encouragement to these up and coming writers means the world to me,” said Bailey.

Bailey encourages current writers to keep writing and set self doubt aside.
