1. What’s your name? (And pronouns?)

Name: Chastity White Rose, formerly Chandler Isaac Klebs. Pronouns: Her/she because I am as sweet as chocolate.

2. Where are you from?

Lee’s Summit, Missouri, is my hometown because I have spent the longest time here.

3. What did you come to Full Sail to learn to write? (Film, TV, Games, Comics, or Books)

I have already published books, but I wanted to become a better quality writer and learn more about the industry of publishing books. I hope to continue writing my books and help others publish theirs, even if they don’t know how to use a computer. I can do the technical heavy lifting through what I have learned in my Creative Writing program and my self-motivated learning.

4. What genres do you primarily write?

I have been primarily concerned with writing information to educate people in an entertaining way. My most recent work, Chastity’s Chess Chapters, is a Chess book designed to teach people all the rules but also give them the tools to improve at playing Chess. I also have written a series of books, Chandler’s Honesty, containing my conversations with a unicorn in my dreams.

5. What is your long-term career goal?

Ideally, I would like to work for a publishing company where I am working with others on getting their books published and formatted the right way. Until then, I have a fairly stable job at Walmart to make a living since I have not had any success at getting my books to sell. I know that being a novelist is not a reliable source of income and that most people will need to work boring jobs in order to survive. Personally, this doesn’t bother me too much because I prefer my writing to be separate from concerns about money. Money and Honesty rarely work well together. I would hate to feel pressured to write my work in a way that is censored by what will sell rather than what is true.
