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.…

Do you have a special time to write, or how is your day structured to accommodate your writing? I don’t have a specific time to write. However, once I sit down behind my computer, I work until the words stop flowing. Especially when I write my first draft the story lives in my head 24/7.…

Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I chose the genre of fantasy because it is one of my favorite genres to read. I love getting lost in an epic fantasy. The world you build as a fantasy writer can be as fantastical as you would like. I was able…

Sevv E., author of Perfectly Peeled Orange
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I chose to write literary fiction because I was, and still am, obsessed with the sense of growth a character can have in this genre. Do you work with an outline or plot sketch, or do you prefer to let a general idea…

S.G. Blaise, author of The Last Lumenian
What inspires you to write? Inspiration comes from all around me. The original concept for The Last Lumenian book series came from a dream.
