I’m sort of in the between stage right now – I’m not an experienced author, but my third book comes out in a few months so I’m not exactly new. What are some of the common challenges that new and experienced authors face and what advice do you have for over-coming them? This is something I tell every new author I meet: get really good at your pitch and get used to telling it to everyone. I could probably pitch my book in my sleep by now.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received from another author?Ĭarrie Ryan was the first author I’ve ever met and she asked me to pitch my book to her, then proceeded to tell me I’d better get used to random pitches because everyone will want to hear it. While they weren’t wrong about it being hard, it wasn’t impossible. The greatest thing I learned at school was not to listen to those who told me it was too hard to do what I wanted to do: be a published author. What was the greatest thing you learned at school? Something about me that would surprise readers… I yodel. What’s one thing that readers would be surprised to find out about you?
