A new blog section is on its way - Industry Interviews

-
I am thrilled to soon be introducing a new (hopefully, regular) segment on this blog: Industry Interviews.

 I will interview authors (both, indie and traditionally-published), agents, editors and other publishing industry people about their craft, ideas and future directions of their work. 

 I am in the process of putting together a list of interviewees and publishing schedule for the rest of the 2015 - mostly it's people I personally know or whose career I have been following for a while. 

 However, if you (or someone you know) fit the profile above, please do not hesitate to get in touch (my email is in Blogger bio) and I will get in touch with you in regards to an interview opportunity.

 Thanks for reading.

I'm mega excited to host this interview with S. Gonzales - my fellow 2018 YA debut and Melbournian. She's a also a top human all around. Her first YA novel THE LAW OF INERTIA is coming this October with Amberjack Publishing. Her sophomore book, ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED , is scheduled for a 2019 release with Wednesday Books ( Macmillan ).  The Law of Inertia by S. Gonzales (2018) S. Gonzales All right, let's get into it! Though so you know, THE LAW OF INERTIA comes with some content warning for heavy mental health and suicide discussions, so please keep that in mind. The author herself does a fine job outlining these trigger warnings in her note on Goodreads. Check it out here . All right, and here's the interview! What book influenced you the most when you were a child (and why)? The GOOSEBUMPS series and the ALEX RIDER series . I just adored any books that have a high level of action, drama, and high stakes situations. Still do! Plus, the G...

I have something really cool for you all today, dear readers!  It is a very special interview with a fellow YA author who is also an artist and whose stunning designs are making writerly hearts flutter with excitement and joy.  I'm talking, of course, about Michelle Modesto. Let's start from the beginning... A few weeks ago I woke up to an amazing surprise - something really cool has happened, and it was book-related. Now, as a humble debut author, any kind of (positive) attention to my darling  luminous monster of a book-baby is a BIG DEAL to me, so this thing that happened felt very VERY special: What kind of stunning sorcery is this, you might ask? Well, this is what happens what art inspires art. In this case, when a book cover art inspires makeup design. The creator of the above awesomeness (and of many others) is  Michelle Modesto ( @elle_modesto   on Instagram ).  Aside from being a published autho...

interview with Maxine Kaplan, the author of THE ACCIDENTAL BAD GIRL

I'm super-thrilled to host another interview with my fellow 2018 debut - Maxine Kaplan! Maxine's YA contemporary THE ACCIDENTAL BAD GIRL is a story of Kendall, who finds herself in a dangerous situation after her online identity is hacked. Early Goodreads reviewers praise it as "a clever update to the classic noir genre" and call it "spiky and complicated and punk and badass and feminist all in one".  This sounds like perfection!' And here's my interview with Maxine, where we discuss her early literary influences, her path to publication, and how she came about writing complex protagonists needing to navigate their way out of trouble. What book influenced you most when you were a child (and why)? I thought long and hard about this one, because I spent a solid 90 percent of my time as a child reading. At one point I considered myself a “tomboy,” but even during that time, I distinctly remember asking my parents why kids on TV were alwa...
