FEATURED WRITERS
Meet Don Martin
A businessman and a writer on Medium
Dear Readers and Writers,
This story aims to introduce a prolific writer contributing to Illumination Integrated Publications on Medium.
Don Martin has an interesting business background.
He owned and operated a small real estate company in middle Tennessee in the United States since the days when he could enjoy sitting with his prospects at their kitchen table.
He always seemed to develop a pretty good relationship with them.
Some even tried to encourage him to do speaking or writing. But, interestingly, they thought his presentations sounded more like stories.
He was appreciative but worked at expanding his company into the entire state of Tennessee, as well as automating it on the web.
Don’s superpower is his ability to save people stacks and stacks of money, teaching them more self-sufficiency all the while.
His personal time with his customers disappeared, so the time became right to work on writing books. He wanted to be an author.
His initial books were all business-driven. Then his writing started to relax, and he had fun.
After a while, Don serendipitously found Medium. So, naturally, he got interested and did not look back.
He thinks that it’s awkward at times to be all business in the morning and all fiction or humor that afternoon.
However, Don believes it is working for him.
He started enjoying writing stories while looking after his business. Medium is fun to him. And his company pays the mortgage. He can’t wait until the fun one brings home the bacon, too.
Therefore, Don writes prolifically. He needs to build an audience as a new writer. We enjoy his stories and believe many more readers will find them interesting and informative.
Therefore, we would like to give you a quick taste of his interesting and well-crated stories. Furthermore, he adds humor to his stories while educating his audience subtly.
