Brian Engles grew up by the sea and now finds it impossible to create art anywhere else. He is a dedicated writing tutor, a talented musician, and a fun uncle.
I work as a writing tutor in my home of Cape Cod. Most of my students are middle grade boys who struggle with critical thinking and analytical writing. Being a tutor gives me an insight into what kids are dealing with these days, which both informs and inspires my stories.
In 2015 I contributed an article to a small, online publication called Cape Cod Pulse. http://www.capecodpulse.com/co... In college I had a music review featured in a now defunct magazine, the BU Buzz. I also recently collaborated with photographer Ben Allsup on a photo essay about my experience of learning how to fish on his site BenShotMe. http://benshotme.com/selected-...
Eight years ago I won the second place prize for the Lt. James Pafford Essay Contest about “Why I Loved the United States of America.” This landed me a check for 5,000$ at the age of seventeen. I proceeded to spend the money on junk food and concert tickets. Even though my spending habits haven’t changed much, I’m still hopeful that won’t be the last time I make money off my craft.

Thanks to all my no. 1's. I couldn't have done it without you.
This River is Wild hit 250 pre-orders yesterday and the count's still climbing. Even though I made the mark, there are 3 days left if you still want to place an order.
So now the book will be shopped around to some independent publishers. It'll be a week or two 'til there's news. Keep your fingers crossed that one of 'em bites on the line.
Sincerely Yours
- Brian
