All Book Reviews

 1) Welcome to Allbookreviews! First, we want to ask you about the beginning of your writing career, and how was the whole process to become a published author? Thanks for inviting me!  My writing career really began about seven years ago. Before then I'd written stories, on and off, and even had some of them published and won a few prizes. However, that was when I decided to go for it and write and self-publish a whole book.  I decided to self-publish my first book as it was a book of short stories, and I figured it was unlikely to be taken on by a publisher. I didn't have strong feelings about independent versus traditional publishing at that point, but I enjoyed the process of self-publishing so much that I decided to stay with it. Ironically, a publisher approached me a few years later and now looks after that book and a few others for me! 2) If you want to address young writers, what would you say to them; what's the main advice you'd like them to take? Great quest...
