Chapter 1: One Chapter At A Time

I’m thrilled to welcome you to Book of Steele, my cosy corner of the internet dedicated to the art of storytelling and my personal journey to potential publishing.

A Little About Me

I’m an amateur writer on a mission. My love for storytelling started when I was a child, reading anything I could get my hands on but favouring the fantasy genre. Over the years, this passion has grown further to the point where I am writing my own novel. Beyond the page, I love learning new things and creating new projects. I have three degrees and am just finishing a course at Oxford in Creative Writing. I am always bored if I’m not working on something or learning something new. And this blog is my new project so hello!

Why Book of Steele?

As a content creator, I created under the name Steely. My namesake is after Steely Dan so I’ve always kept to this connection close to my heart. It made sense for those who had followed my journey to still feel a connection to me too and this name encapsulates all of it.
