Beatrice McClearn
Beatrice McClearn published the hit title Diaries of an Emotional Prostitute in November 2010. Before its release, McClearn served as a freelance writer for various companies, including Examiner.com.
McClearn and Washingtonian Poet, Journei, released a series of talk shows on YouTube entitled Uncover2Discover in early 2011. The show lasted one season and was put on hold indefinitely due to conflicting schedules. Later that year, McClearn published dozens of short stories to include titles such as Momma’s Touch, The Intruders, Calamity, Abduction, A Lonely Journey, A Psychic’s Craze, Marriage v. Contracts, Coverless Book, The Cursed Addict, A Trip to Macy’s, Six Super Sexy Secrets for BBW, Girl in the Mirror, Cougar Prey, Book Publishing:101, My Final Ode to Him, The Misinterpretation, Destiny’s Revenge, and more. By 2012, the National Black Book Festival named McClearn 2nd Best New Author.
McClearn serves the community by speaking to aspiring authors about the publishing industry and hosting Beatrice McClearn’s Annual College Bound Outreach - a contest that gives high school students the opportunity to apply to colleges of their choice.
In 2013 McClearn married and gave birth to her first child (a son). Her second novel is set to release in early 2015.
“People snare when I tell them that I’m an emotional prostitute. But after my rebuttal, they begin to realize that they are one too. Like me, they have pimped their emotions for the affections of another. Like me, they’ve gone through life tormented by the idea of living a happily ever after, not realizing that the ever after isn’t so happy.”
“The more time you spend thinking, the less time you spend doing. The less time you spend doing, the more you watch others do. This formula never equals success.”
