About Perry Gamsby – eWriter
Perry Gamsby, MA(Writing) is an eWriter and is passionate about eWriting. Why? Because that is how he makes his living. Online writing, web content, web publishing, eBooks, ad copy and any other form of electronic writing are where he makes some of his income. Perry also lectures on eWriting, business and personal safety so he not only diversifies his income streams, he gets out from behind his iMac and talks to other humans face to face.
A former Military Policeman, private investigator, security consultant and self defence instructor, Perry has also enjoyed time in sales and marketing before deciding to dedicate his life to his family and his own enjoyment of the finite time we all have in this life. In 2009 while undergoing experimental robotic surgery to repair a prolapsed mitral valve, Perry died and was brought back to life, spending the next 8 days in a coma. This truly was a life changing event and one that made him take a long, hard look at what is truly important to an individual. It certainly isn’t swapping chunks of his life for dollars and then not having enough chunks left for family and doing things with those dollars.
While in no danger of getting arrested for tax evasion, Perry believes he lives well with his wife and five daughters in a little house they will one day own. While they might not be in the best postcode in Sydney they are happy and live within their means, the secret to true inner peace and happiness! In 2008 Perry was awarded his Master of Arts in Writing from Swinburne University of Technology, Lilydale. He also holds a CertIV Training & Assessing and a CertIV Business (Small Business Management). Perry is an advocate of lifelong learning and is conducting preliminary research for his PhD with his “The eWriter Project – From Idea To Income”. This includes design and development of adult vocational education courses in Online Writing.
Perry is the author of over a dozen titles including both eBooks and hard copy publications, 16 training videos, numerous magazine articles, literary reviews and hundreds of web pages as well as his novel ‘The Cool Side Of The Pillow” and the editor of collections of poetry and short stories.
