© Interview Questionnaire ©

1. How long have you been writing?

2. Did you always want to become a author? What inspired you to make writing a career?

3. What was the deciding factor in the genre you selected?

4. Where do your ideas come from?

5. Is writing a full-time job for you? Or, do you work elsewhere and write in your free time? If you work a traditional full-time job and are also working elsewhere, how do you manage to do both, and your writing not suffer?

6. Are there days where you have writer’s block, or you wake up and just don’t feel like writing? If so, and your deadlines are approaching, what do you do to inspire yourself and over come this, what motivates you?

7. Have you ever used real life experiences and people in your novels/stories? If so, which one(s) and would you mind sharing the “story” behind the story with us?

8. When you first started submitting your manuscripts to editors/publisher how long did it take for a publishing house to pick you up?

9. Did you ever reach a point, prior to being published where you were discouraged enough to give up? If so, how did you pull yourself out of the slump and accomplish your goals?

10. Do you have an agent? If so, is having an agent represent you something you would encourage and recommend to aspiring authors pursuing a writing career?

11. Is there a favorite book of yours that you wrote? If so, what is it, and what makes it special to you?

12. Is there a particular genre or sub-genre you prefer to write? If so, what is it and why?

In your opinion, do you think that the new-age romance has a solid place on readers shelves? Do you think publishers are still open to trying and staying with non-traditional romance?

13. With the computer age in full swing, with email/web pages, etc., do you think the book and/or written word will become obsolete and people reach a point where they no longer need, or have the desire to buy printed material/books?
