Official 5 Minute Mystery author

Nicholas LeVack

I'm relatively inexperienced, in both writing and life, the latter almost entirely having to do with the fact I'm sixteen. Regardless, I enjoy writing and I have since the sixth grade, when my passion for the field first began to flourish.

Along with being a freelance writer, I'm also a budding novelist. I'm working on my own young adult series. That is, I'm working on the fourth version of the first installment of that series.

For examples of past work, I'd recommend visiting my Helium profile.
