Zachery Hoagland is a middle aged Native of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Like most minorities he came up with nothing. No dreams, No goals, maybe one or two friends.

​

Zachery "The Pen" Hoagland whose life is an open book, shares his story throughout his on-going life experiences. From Jack Hoagalino, to The Welcome series, to his most recent A Service (Vol. 1) You will read about his life’s uncertainties, his obstacles, the ups and downs, and his breakthroughs. This native of New Brunswick NJ is a Writer, Author, Publisher, TV host, RADIO Personality, Talent acquisition, Promoter as well as a motivational speaker who set out to pursue his dreams of becoming a best seller in Ms. Winfrey's Book club with plans of someday working beside Mr. Tyler Perry (with Mr. Denzel Washington acting as his character Jack Hoagalino.)

​

Zachery had very little academics in his life. He spent most of his childhood smothered. Especially in the strict God fearing household he grew up in. But those sporadic visits from family members and friends of the family usually brought the streets to him. He was taught the life of a low-budget street dealer and everything that came with these teachings. Zachery was eventually sent to Prison. It was there that he used writing as a tool to deal. For hours he would sit on his bed adding ink to a pad. When he had no pads, he would use manila envelopes, paper bags, tissue paper or whatever he could get his hands on. Zachery was determine to get those thoughts out of his cluttered mind. The more that he stuck himself in the cell, the more problems his fellow prisoners brought to him. His Mr. Fix it writings would leave his hands and into theirs. There was always someone that his writings could be of use to. The fellow prisoner's would tell others of his great writings. So the others would bring their heartfelt issues to him as well. For the years he spent in Northern State Prison (Newark, NJ) his writings would help his fellow prisoners get through the pain, the dysfunction, the imbalances.

​

After most of his life belonging to the streets and the rest stuck in someone's prison, he figured that in order for his career to jump, he would need a change of pace. This courageous author moved his family from New Brunswick, NJ to Atlanta, GA on faith. His plan was to become a Movie producer and possibly work side by side Mr. Tyler Perry. Upon planting his feet on Atlanta's soil he hit the ground running. His mindset is winning! This brother will not accept defeat. He has never given up no matter what the adversities! Nor will he ever. Meet Zachery "The Pen" Hoagland and be a part of this amazing journey!
