About Patrick Johns

I'm a Writer with a background in Engineering and Mathematics. After working for a large Engineering firm for 3 years outside Washington D.C., I discovered my passion for Writing and decided to move to Spain. For 4 years I taught English overseas, wrote and published my own books, and got involved in many Freelance projects like Copywriting, Editing, and Book Formatting. Now back in the United States, I'm passionate about inspiring professionals with non-writing backgrounds to gain the confidence, routine, and skills to finally start the book they’ve always wanted to write. When I'm not writing, you can find me... 🏄 Out in the ocean, surfing some narly waves 📚 Reading whatever I can get my hands on 🗺️ Traveling and seeking inspiration for my next book
