Meet Quetta Stubbs | Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Quetta Stubbs and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Quetta, what makes you happy? Why?
Being my true unapologetic self makes me very happy. It allows me to be a better mother, wife, friend, sister, daughter, and entrepreneur. Peace is very important to me…Peace keeps me on my toes to continue to be a successful woman that I am today.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve always been a creative writer I just never shared it before. I was told about a writer’s app, so I took a chance and created a story. I freestyle the story basically playing around just to see if I’ll get any reads. Within days I was at 2.4k reads and from 3 months I was at 15k reads. So, I decided to write and get the playful erotica book “Sex Therapist” published in a series. Before taking the steps the hardest challenge I faced is when the writer’s app deleted my story at 15K reads. Now to be honest I was very discouraged especially when they did not tell me why. I had all my documentation to show proof that I am the writer that created the story. Since I am a person that does not give up I resubmitted the story. I kid you not within one month I reached 50K reads. My supporters were upset as much as I was when the rough draft was taken down. I am very happy with myself that I didn’t give up because I received so much support it was overwhelming. The book was not fully completed within that year and the book reached 450K reads. Shocking that the writer’s app removed my book again than I just finished the book and got it published. My book is a success! I started off with 100 books and sold them all. I didn’t get a chance to do a book tour, but I connected with the people throughout my days and sold my books. I prefer selling my books by hand, but I am very grateful for the ones that purchased them online. If you are a writer, keep going, Even when it seems so hard to do so! Right, now I am working on book number 2 “Sex Therapist” Series 2. It will be completed at the beginning of the new Year 2021. This year the month of June I am officially contracted to my first comic book. I was very nervous well fearful that I almost backed out! I kept faith in myself that I can accomplish this challenge. It is definitely out of my comfort zone, but seeing my words in art, wow!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take my friend to Prospect Park just because I love the energy and the vibe. Grown folk style good food, music, people, and great customer service. I also, love Urban Air Jumping Park I am a kid at heart. I’ll definitely take my friend there to let loose and be stress-free for a few hours.
