Ash Brom

Hi! My name’s Ash Brom, a bestselling author in several dimensions but not yet in this one.

I’m a writer, editor, reviewer, publisher, and English as an Additional Language teacher. In the past I’ve been maaaaaany other things.

I spent eight and a half years in China, and self-published my memoirs of this in 2019. I’ve had stories, poems, reviews, interviews and feature articles printed in Australia, China and Timor-Leste.

In this dimension I’m a bipedal, endothermic vertebrate, and a slave to oxygen, gravity and sustenance. I’m currently a mammal, but hope one day to be an octopod.

Priceless Advice

Advice is often dished out when it’s simply not asked for. In fact, advice that charades as being in your “best interest”, often turns out to be, frankly, bad advice. Witness seven writers let loose about the times they’ve received bogus advice, and how it’s sometimes been the inspiration to succeed, just out of spite.
