My name is Brooke Bridges and I'm reaching out in hopes to become represented by an agent for my poetry. I am also a fiction writer, but I have decided to start with my poetry because of how easily it flows from me. I'm going to give you a brief rundown of who I am, what I do, and why, and will paste a short poem here so you can see what I write about.
I grew up in Los Angeles CA as a child actress and found that it caused a lot of mental health issues for me. The pressures of having to be the best, the confusion behind my identity, and wondering whether or not I was actually loved or loved for my success in the entertainment industry left me floating, astray. I found myself struggling with anxiety at a very young age and it led to me being diagnosed with a mental illness. When I was in middle school I began to write poetry. I began to express the emotions that I couldn't really articulate. I could only articulate them in prose.
That is what I relay through my poetry.
