Your story does matter.
Through the sometimes-hectic hum of everyday life, your stories have buzzed through your brain, begging you to write them down for good. That nagging feeling is your gut telling you to go for it! Your life experiences, wisdom, and creativity deserve to be immortalized on the pages of a book. Books live forever!

Meet your instructor.
Hi, I am Jody Dyer, owner of Crippled Beagle Publishing.
WHY TRUST ME TO TEACH YOU?
I’m a writer just like you!
I’m a teacher.
I’m a successful entrepreneur.
Writer
I have written and published books since 2013, but I started writing when I was in middle school. When I was growing up as an only child on a farm in East Tennessee, my favorite pastime was to read to my beagles and write funny poems and songs about my friends.
Teacher
Not only was I raised by an educator (my mother) and a bibliophile (my father), but I also became an educator later in life. I first earned a bachelor of science degree in finance and was a mid-management banker. I returned to school in my late thirties and finished post-baccalaureate certification in secondary education and then a masters in curriculum and instruction. I taught high school and currently teach writing courses at The University of Tennessee Center for Professional Education & Lifelong Learning.
Entrepreneur
I started Crippled Beagle Publishing in 2017 and have since helped hundreds of writers reach their goals. My team and I help people write, edit, publish, and market their books. Authors are small business owners. I will help you sell your book.
My quirky combination of creative writer plus teacher plus entrepreneur allows me to help with all aspects of an author’s journey—from your idea to your published, profitable book (and your next book).
