C.L. Lowry is an award-winning author, graphic designer, and writing coach. Lowry was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but his family roots trace back to the beautiful island of Barbados, West Indies. Lowry spent over ten years in law-enforcement and uses his experience and education to demand his readers' attention with realistic scenarios throughout his stories. Lowry has released three books, which include a crime anthology, post-apocalyptic thriller, and a guide to self-publishing. As a writing coach, Lowry has helped over 25 writers self-publish more than 50 titles. He has assisted writers with outlining, editing, marketing, illustrating, and designing promotional material. Lowry has been a speaker at several elementary schools, libraries, and non-profit programs. His presentations include reading of his books, safety presentations for children, and "know your rights" presentations for adults. In 2016, Lowry won an award for the best anthology at the New York Book Festival (The Black Badge: Confessions of Corruption). In 2018, Lowry was a finalist for the Book Excellence Awards (The Scavenger). Along with perfecting his penmanship, Lowry also started a book review program called Creedom Book Critiques. Alongside his son, he provides honest book reviews to authors of all genres. Lowry started Creedom Book Critiques after seeing the minimum amount of exposure independent authors received, despite all the hard work they put into their books.
