Scott Cook

Scott was born in Providence, RI in 1974 and spent the majority of his childhood growing up on the Treasure Coast of Florida. Touched by the creative bug early in life, Scott began writing his first short stories in the 4th grade. Growing up in Stuart, FL, Scott was immersed in the outdoor lifestyle. Fishing, scuba diving, water skiing and sailing were among his favorite activities and still are. Always an adventurer who wants to see what’s around the corner, Scott is one of those people who just can’t resist learning something new or seeing someplace he’s never seen before… and writing fiction gives him the ability to let others travel with him. An evident glutton for punishment, Scott’s primary day job is as a freelance copywriter. His copywriting career came about both as an extension of his love for writing fiction as well as his unswerving entrepreneurial spirit. Scott started his first real business, a website development company, back in 2000 and spent the next nine years working with clients on larger and more complex projects. Although he enjoyed the technical side of his work, Scott was always more interested in the sales aspect of the business as well as helping his clients market their sites and in creating copy for them. After the market downturn of 2008, Scott had to close his business and turned his attention to his true passion – helping other people grow their businesses through his writing talent. Copywriting is challenging, diverse, often grueling and always demanding. Yet Scott hasn’t lost his love for fiction. His first Kindle book, “Choices” was something he’d started years earlier and left collecting virtual dust on his hard drive. Now, with the book launched and gaining positive feedback, Scott is already editing a sequel and has a third in the works. With a new special lady in his life who’s both an invaluable asset and inspiration, Scott plans to crank out compelling stories for all those eager story lovers out there. “If I can entertain my readers and keep them hungry for more… then I feel like I’ve really done something worthwhile. Thank you to my readers and to those friends and family who have encouraged me over the years!” -Scott W. Cook Please friend and follow me on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/swcwriter
