We had the good fortune of connecting with Quetta Stubbs and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Quetta, what makes you happy? Why?
Being my true unapologetic self makes me very happy. It allows me to be a great mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and entrepreneur. Peace is very important to me…Peace keeps me on my toes to continue to be the successful woman that I am today.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve always been a creative writer I just never shared it before. I was told about a writer’s app, so I took a chance and created a story. I freestyle the story basically playing around just to see if I’ll get any reads. Within days I was at 2.4k reads and from 3 months I was at 15k reads. So, I decided to write and get the playful erotica book “Sex Therapist: The Imagination Is Real” published in a series. Before taking the steps, the hardest challenge I faced is when the writer’s app deleted my story at 15K reads. Now to be honest I was very discouraged especially when they did not tell me why. I had all my documentation to show proof that I am the writer that created the story. Since I am a person that does not give up I resubmitted the story. I kid you not within one month I reached 50K reads. My supporters were upset as much as I was when the rough draft was taken down. I am very happy with myself that I didn’t give up. Because I received so much support, it was overwhelming. The book was not fully completed within that year and the book reached 450K reads. Shocking that the writer’s app removed my book again than I just finished the book and got it published. My book is now successful! I started off with 100 books and sold them all within a couple of days. I didn’t get a chance to do a book tour, but I connected with the people throughout my days and sold my books. I prefer selling my books by hand, but I am very grateful for the ones that purchased online on Amazon. If you are a writer, keep going, even when it seems so hard to do so! Right, now I am working on book number 2 “Sex Therapist: A Touch Of Fancy” Series 2. It will be completed in April of 2021. You can find it on my website below or on Amazon. Also, this year in the month of June I was officially contracted to write my first comic book “Left Damage”. I was fearful to write a comic book because it was out of my comfort zone. I kept my faith knowing that I can accomplish this challenge. I cannot wait for my supporters to read my words in art, wow! Please check out my website below for updates.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take my friends to Prospect Park just because I love the energy and the vibe. Grown folk style good food, music, people, and great customer service. I also, love Urban Air Jumping Park I am a kid at heart. I take my friends there to let loose and be stress-free for a few hours.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
