Kat Hausler, author of What I Know About July
What inspires you to write? I love words – their nuances, the way what comes before or after a phrase can change its meaning entirely, their rhythm and sound, how a sentence can get stuck in your head like a tune. And I also love stories and how they connect people, giving us insight into…

Next Newsletter Issue Coming Friday…
Back in 2022, I launched a quarterly newsletter called “Berneta’s Reading Misfits.” While I’m great at keeping Waking Writer up-to-date, I’m not as stellar about keeping a steady newsletter for those interested in my own books and writings.

Vered Neta, author of Things We Do for Love
What are some day jobs you have held? I’ve always been drawn to books. I was a “book nerd” even before that expression existed. However, I started writing only at the ripe age of 57 after having, as I call it, 3 Past Lives in this lifetime. I’ve been an archaeologist, a top manager in…

Craig Terlson, author of Three Minute Hero
What inspires you to write? In the big human condition picture, I believe stories have the ability to transform us. It’s how we relate to the world, how we remember, and how we tell others we feel. I love being in touch with what I call literary alchemy—a fancy way to say I love storytelling.…

Frank Giammanco by Lord of the Wood
When did you first consider yourself a writer? From the time I was in elementary school. I remember my fourth-grade teacher asking us to write an essay about Thanksgiving and I wound up writing a story about a talking turkey. My teacher got such a kick out of it that she had me read it…

Jonathan Faia, author of Love Letters from Barstow
What inspires you to write? I’ve always felt the need for expression. When you’re young and not sure who understands you or whether you even understand you, there is writing. It allowed me to digest the emotions I struggled with and gave me an outlet to be creative at the same time. Writing allowed me…
