Hey y’all! Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here!
First things first. I know you’re expecting the obligatory resume information, so who am I to disappoint?
My name is Brandy Woods Snow, and I’m a writer and journalist living in beautiful Upstate, South Carolina. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a minor in Writing from Clemson University (Go Tigers!). An eternal believer in "...the greatest of these is love...," I write romances brimming with deep feels, swoony male leads, strong female heroines, moments of levity through witty banter (and sometimes a good dash of second-hand embarrassment), and Southern accents as thick as refrigerated honey.
In addition to writing, I am also a book editor, having helped many authors in multiple genres, including romance, dystopian, contemporary, suspense, and urban fantasy, bring their book babies to life. I have previously worked as a Marketing Manager and Acquisitions Editor for a small publisher and served as a mentor in the renowned WriteMentor program. While creative writing is my first love, the media has been my home for more than twenty-three years, during which time I have built a strong platform that includes articles in Delta Sky, Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Home Design & Decor Charlotte, and Home Design & Decor Raleigh. I have also worked in corporate communications, public relations, and business development for international and regional companies as well as managed a small-town hospitality newsletter.
Are we done with the formalities now? Good!
It’s time for the fun part because I’m Southern, and in the South, we can’t just have the sausage biscuits. We’ve got to dress it up with some gravy, too. (And if it wasn’t for the gravy, y’all would think I was all business and no fun!)
I’m a lover of naked Jeep riding (you Jeep enthusiasts know what I mean!), catching lightning bugs, going barefoot and eating fresh shrimp and grits. About 75% of my t-shirts have either a Clemson Tiger Paw or a SC Palmetto and Crescent, and that’s the way I like it.
My husband is my very best friend. I could write a thousand books and have boy-crushes on every one of my main fictional guys, but no one (living, dead or imagined) will ever stack up to him. He’s my all-time crush. We have three children and one grandbaby that are my whole heart.
As for this passion of mine, writing a book was never a fly-by-night dream. I knew it was my calling in life from the very first book I read on my own at age four, and when I got a typewriter two years later, the destiny was certain. My main objective in writing is to unify people by drawing on the one thing we all have in common. Emotion. I want my readers to feel ALL the feels—the highs, the lows, the excitement, the despair. This is why writing romance is my perfect niche. Most of us will never forget the first time our knees knocked together when we saw “her” or “him” or how the knife sliced through our guts when it all didn’t work out. The emotions are raw and powerful and delicious. But most of all, they’re real and honest, and that’s what I always strive to capture in my stories.
