Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am 18 years old, and have published just one book (so far!). I am from Torbay in Devon, and having just finished my A levels I decided it was the perfect time to get published. When I am not writing, I am preparing myself for my future in Civil Engineering.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is ‘on how scars become temporary’. I was heavily inspired by authors such as Rupi Kaur, Sabrina Benaim and Amanda Lovelace. The whole book is based on personal experience. I did not write to create the book, it is simply a collection of writings done for myself when feelings were two much. These words have helped me to create my own happiness and I wanted to share that with everyone.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Although I wish I could, I never write by hand. I am too much of a perfectionist and make far too many changes on the way.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I adore Rupi Kaur (milk and honey) and Sabrina Benaim (depression and other magic tricks – signed copy!!). I also enjoy Makenzie Campbell’s book – 2am thoughts, and Amanda Lovelace’s series of work.
What are you working on now?
The paperback copy of my ebook!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I am far too much of a new author to have any advice
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To remember that you have written for yourself, if you don’t like your work, or someone else doesn’t, it doesn’t matter because you did it for yourself and it helped to process your feelings and thoughts.
What are you reading now?
I am constantly just flicking through all my favourite poetry books
