Carolyn Potts interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW


A little introduction:

My name is Carolyn Potts, I am 23 years old in the Philadelphia region. I am a yoga instructor, as well as an English, Health, and Fitness teacher. I enjoy all occult subjects which is where a lot of inspiration comes from when writing books. 


When did your love of books begin?

It was always there. I actually used to read my mother bedtime stories rather than the opposite. Though interestingly enough, I used to go to reading support in school because while I wasn’t “good” at it, I still kept on reading. 


When did you start to have the wish to become an author?

This too was always a desire for as long as I could remember, but it wasn’t until age 10 when a family friend published her own book and thought to myself ‘Wait, you can do that?!’ And since then I knew I was going to publish a book. 


How have you found the process for becoming an author?

I found it to be a lot slower than I anticipated. When you’re super excited it can be easy to get caught up in the ‘publish now’ mindset, but there’s so much in between finishing a story and publishing it to sort out. Every step, no matter how tedious, has been enjoyable. 


What would you say to those wanting to become an author?

It’s timely, pricey, full of self doubt, but one hell of a ride and there’s no reason you shouldn’t do it. 


Tell us about your book/books:

It is a dystopian, sci-fi trilogy. If you’re interested in twisted spirituality, warped technology, and different perspectives then you’ll enjoy the Inside and Out series. 


What do you love about the writing/reading community?

Everyone on any social media platform is extremely welcoming and they want to see you succeed. It’s really wonderful. 


If you could say anything to your readers what would it be?

Don’t get too attached to my characters, they may not be who you think they are.


Where can people connect with you?

Francessca Bella interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW     A little introduction: My name is Francessca Bella, author of Mazarine Dreamer, and I'm creative, writerly, artistic, studious, organized, striving, productive, insightful, an INTJ, and I thrive with verbomania.  My favorite words are  rarissima , fanasticality, peachy-keen,  vivace , and automagical.  When did your love of books begin? Books and art filled my mind, time, and imagination since childhood when I read voraciously and drew daily. My imagination always was activated and kept active  through the creative mediums. When did you start to have the wish to become an author? I lived as uniquely as fiction, residing in a new state, a new world, every other month and loving it; despite going to 36 different schools I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and went to college where my desire to become an author began with my mother as my inspiring encouragement-giver and co-writer. Looking back now, 29 manuscripts later, it seems like a walk through the park to get that f
