OPERATIONS MANAGER AND SENIOR EDITOR
Bill Barnier is our Operations Manager and Senior Editor. Over his fifty-year working career, he has been a welder, mechanic, copper miner, photographer, landscape business owner, paint specialist, warehouse manager, bus driver, home builder, pilot, and world traveler. For the last nineteen years he has been a Power Control Technician at the local Electric Coop, and retired from that position April 30, 2023.
His college professor recognized his writing talent, which he has used in writing newsletters, technical manuals, and safety training courses and served as an award-winning Public Affairs Officer for his Civil Air Patrol Squadron in South Carolina. He has written a monthly guest column in the South Carolina United Methodist newspaper for seven years.
Bill has edited thirteen fiction novels for YBR Publishing, six novellas, and is currently working on a compilation of his newspaper columns for hard cover publication.
His greatest reward is coaching young and new authors who have great stories and passion for writing but need to be guided toward becoming successful authors.
Bill lives in Ridgeland, SC, with Cyndi and one cat, Scooter.
