About me:

I’m Jason Liegois – a former newspaper journalist who has now transitioned into the teaching profession. Currently, I now live in Fort Madison, Iowa, having spent the majority of my life in Eastern Iowa, where I grew up. I live there with my wife Laura, and our two children are now living on their own around the state..

For the past few years, I have been making an effort to finally get going on a lifelong passion – my interest in fiction writing. Although I have been interested in being a writer ever since I was a teenager, it’s only been in the past several years that I have had the mental discipline to produce fiction writing on anything close to a consistent basis. In 2019, I published my debut novel, The Holy Fool, available on Amazon and other locations.

The purpose of this blog is to focus on the art of writing - what I’ve learned about it and want to pass on to those who are interested in writing, and what I am still learning about writing after all these years. It’s also a vehicle to share and promote my original fiction as well. Don’t worry - I won’t be too obnoxious about that.

My original blog, Liegois Media, is on Wordpress. I also have a Facebook page for writing, also called Liegois Media. Originally set up as a page for my journalism career, with my reentry into teaching, I decided to rebrand it as my first writing interest page. That’s where I post interesting articles, photos, quotes and memes on writing, as well as links to here and my Wordpress page.

If you still like to email people and you want to email me, you can do that at jasonliegois@liegois.media.

I look forward to the adventure and sharing my journey in writing.
