About Me:

15 - Years Old

From West Haven, CT

Attends Notre Dame High School in Fairfield, CT

Avid Reader

Began writing at in 6th grade at age 11

Published first book Flashback at age 12 (on her birthday)

I am lucky enough to have found something I

love and been able to make a career out of it

When I first wrote Flashback I wrote it for myself

I found that I can inspire kids like me to read and

write more

I enjoy sharing my experiences with others

Flashback is a story I created when I was in 6th grade. I had a dream

about a girl that was killed. She reincarnated and became a new

person. I decided to write my dream down when I woke up. The next

day in school I began to write more. I showed a couple of my friends

and they really liked my idea. Six months later the rough draft of

Flashback was finished.

A year later I wrote the sequel to Flashback called Reality

I just finished a novella called Awakened which is a spin-off

to the series

I plan to have 5 books total in the Flashback Series

What is a Flashback?

A scene in a story set in a time earlier than

the main story.

Isabelle, the main character, has Flashbacks about her

previous life

Every other chapter is about her past in the 1800’s

She doesn’t remember everything about her past. Just bits

and pieces come to her throughout the story

There are clues in her Flashbacks about what is happening

in her present life

I have met many new people in all different

fields of business

I have made friends around the world

I have created opportunities to share my story

with others

I have helped others reach their goals

My path has given me a look into other fields

Being an Author has led me to learn about many other careers I

might want to go into as an adult.

Graphic Design: I design my own covers

Web design: I create my own Website

Editing: I edit my books over and over

Motivational speaking: I get to speak to others about following

their dreams

Marketing: I make my own promotional items and go to events

Social Media Marketing: I have 10,000 followers on twitter –

I’m constantly updating my facebook and twitter accounts about

my progress

By Kyla LoPresti

On a typical day I go to school, do homework, attend

school clubs, write and use social media for my book

I am very organized with everything that I do

I set goals for myself and give myself time constraints

I don’t let myself get discouraged even if things are

stressful

I see things through until they are finished

I am an entrepreneur and run my own business

I set my own schedule as to when I can do things for my book

I promote and keep track of my book sales

I follow up with readers who engage me

I talk to other Authors I admire

I attend promotional events to market my books

I help others with their writing

I network with people everywhere I go

Stay in school – Keep your grades up

Make a plan for College

Read A LOT! Reading makes you a better writer and speaker

Set goals for yourself (short-term, mid-term, long-term)

Be organized

Be proactive, join writing clubs and groups of interest

Work on the school paper or yearbook

DO WHAT YOU

LOVE! Whatever it is

you like to do, you can

Inspire others

I like to write

messages to the

reader on each of my

books to inspire others

to follow their dreams

It is not a “JOB”

when you like what you

do. Find something

you love and make that

your career
