Author Interview – Emma Right

8:30 AM | Labels: Authors

Where do you get your inspiration from?

From life. Look all around you, there’s so much to write about.

What is hardest – getting published, writing or marketing?

Probably marketing. Especially internet marketing, there’s so much jargon and so much to read.

What marketing works for you?

Still trying to figure this one out. I’d be happy to get suggestions!

Do you find it hard to share your work?

No. It does feel scary to ask Beta readers to read but it’s necessary for how else could I know what works and what doesn’t in the story? I am too close to it. I need objective but constructive criticisms.

Is your family supportive? Do your friends support you?

Only my immediate family-basically my kids and husband. I have very few friends, and no social life, except if you count kids’ activities a social life.

What else do you do to make money, other than write? It is rare today for writers to be full time…

I homeschool my kids and that takes up a lot of time. Also my husband travels a lot and so I have to be mom and dad to them. It can be very draining at times–emotionally and physically. That’s why I cling to God. It’s too hard to do it on my own. And don’t forget all those pets I have to care for, too.
