Ashea Goldson, an Atlanta transplant and founder of GoldWrite Publishing LLC and published author since 2002, has a strong connection with writing. Since she was a young child growing up in New York City, she has always had a vivid imagination which fueled her fascination with writing stories. After writing for school publications throughout middle and high school, she continued to hone her skills in college. She received a BA in Communications from Fordham University in the Bronx, New York. She has also earned an MA degree in English /Secondary Teacher Education from The University of Phoenix. After dedicating herself to her family and her students for many years, Ashea eventually returned to her passion-writing.

As a Christian fiction novelist, Ashea has written many published works including The Lovechild, Joy Comes In The Morning, Count It All Joy, Let Joy Arise, Scorched, and When Kingdom Comes. Within her writing, flawed characters take the forefront allowing for an inspirational yet relatable message. Through GoldWrite she has published many other books as well, including Resurrecting The Real Me, His Mother’s Bosom, and numerous poetry and children’s books.

Ashea established GoldWrite Publishing to build a community of talented writers in order to produce a collection of multicultural, inspirational fiction, non- fiction and films. She also desired to write and edit the same kind of “soul stirring stories” for others.

As an English teacher for over twenty five years, Ashea has exercised her love of literature and the arts through instructing her students. While writing and producing numerous stage plays for her students, Ashea’s interest in drama and screenwriting was cultivated. In 2009, Ashea wrote and produced her first short film, "Searching for the Right Thing," through Asheagold Productions. Although she is currently pursuing the role of filmmaker and writer extraordinaire, she continues to be an English teacher, writing coach, and advocate of literacy.
