Interview With Author Chelstyna Cruz
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written one book so far as of October 5th, 2025 called Quiet Screams in Lowercase. I am trying to make myself more known for my work and my illustrations and poetry in my newly published book and overall trying to make my work more known to become a successful self-published poet.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Quiet Screams in Lowercase. Something that inspired me to write this book is knowing that there are people struggling mentally and feeling alone– I would like people who are feeling that way to know that’s not the case and that reading my book would make allow them to feel a relatable, comforting feeling knowing that they aren’t the only one.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
An unusual but somewhat normal writing habit is writing with emphasis on what’s going on in that moment. For example, if the sky is blue and there are three clouds, my writing will emphasize that.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on my next book that already has a publish date of next year.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Make sure to have a support system willing to cheer and buy something they know you’ve created.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t stop writing, don’t stop getting out there into the world to become known for your talent. You have it within you, so continue.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write that poem your incapable of writing.”
What are you reading now?
As You Like It – William Shakespeare.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To publish my second book and for people to recognize me and the work.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Holy Bible, Milk and Honey and As You Like It
