Paula Edwards was born in Los Angeles, California, now residing in northern California. She was the co-founder of Black Women for Positive Change, an organization structured to uplift teens and young adults through monthly informative publications distributed across the San Francisco Bay Area. BWPC received recognition in 1999 for their most talked about interview with former Mayor, R.B. Jones of East Palo Alto, CA, a city once labeled the "Number One Murder Capital in the World." Destined to turn her gift of writing into a career, Paula Edwards launched her own imprint, JustWrite Publishing, in 2003, and produced her first novel, The Last Bad Decision, in 2004. "It's important to know that self-publishing means so much more than it did back in the days. It no longer means your book is so lousy you have no other choice but to publish it yourself. In fact, I turned down a book deal with a reputable publishing house," says Edwards, winner of the Best Books Finalist Award in 2005 for her Urban Fiction novel, The Last Bad Decision. "Please don't take that as advice to self publish your book! Writing is a love and publishing is a business. If you're not ready to be an entrepreneur, by all means seek out a publishing deal that fits your needs." Currently, Paula Edwards is a contributing writer for The Master Report Newspaper, providing articles, book reviews, and interviews on authors, co-host of Pillow Talk with the Valley's Top DJ, Al Greenz, on the #1 Hit Station KWIN, and the Executive Director of WriteWay2Freedom, a non-profit organization geared toward strengthening and building literate communities by providing aspiring writers with the necessary tools to becoming published. "Our services not only help guide aspiring writers down a road to successful publishing, but also help disadvantaged kids find freedom through writing by turning their thoughts into a book rather than acting them out in violence or other harmful activity known to destroy our youth," says Edwards, who admits her own learning deficiencies as a child. Founded in 2005 by authors Paula Edwards and Curtis Alcutt, WW2F has already sparked the interest of aspiring writers, schools, libraries, and other literary organizations throughout the United States.

Hey Fam, Have a wonderful week ahead. I loved the holidays, but it's good to be back in the mix...and as always, I have a piece for you...Enjoy.
Get u naked
Ok, I was just trying to get you to open up It was a challenge I wanted to see your emotions erupt it was obvious you were suppressed or maybe hurt in the past By a friend or by man That told you they can Make you understand And make y’all last
Hell, you were inside a shell And I just kept going deeper and deeper While you were trying to be all hard and abrasive and shit and I just decided to take it And now I see u emotionally naked
It was worth it. Because you're all raw and pure I felt like the cure that u needed. What a beautiful site to see you smile and laugh to see you change your path And head in a different direction From when I first met cha We progressed from peekin up your skirt To you being totally exposed needing protection
your tenderness is a beautiful site. Why be cooped up in a small cocoon When it’s your nakedness that will get you the moon and why can’t u see that? Yeah, it’s fun when you still spit 90% and try to fake it But I still love to see you emotionally naked
Hey beautiful....My favorite publisher... prayfully your thanksgiving has been blessed... I am still writing and I hope you are too...Love you much!~Shaunte'~
