Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Born in Milan, lived around the world in bits and pieces and settled in Berlin a few years ago. I’ve written and published only one book so far (more coming) but I’ve been writing for quote a while – professionally that is. I remember that in a past job I was the go-to guy whenever they needed something written fast and well!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Effective Decision-Making: how to make better decisions under uncertainty and pressure”. Mainly inspired by frustration to be honest… see, I come from consulting, and I can’t count how much time we wasted pointlessly discussing and talking about what we should or could do – and even worse, the times that discussions lead to pretty much nothing. I have studied decision making techniques for a while, and I know what you can do to speed up the whole process and come to a good result. As I don’t work in consulting anymore, I decided to write it all up in a book, hoping to change even a tiny bit in organisations.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Don’t know how unusual that is but… i set a timer and write for 5-10minutes without a break, then I review. This helps getting the blurb in my head on paper. Once I have it in front of me I can review it better. Simple as that.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Above all: Richard Wiseman.
What are you working on now?
I want to translate my book into a series of workshops, possibly going directly to companies and teach the methods I write about.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Quite a few… Chandler Bolt’s guide to promotion is fantastic, especially when it comes to timing. As for the rest, Facebook groups for Kindle help quite a lot. I have some SEO background, so it’s just a matter of taking a look at a site’s rankings and deciding if it’s worth the money or time!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
JUST DO IT!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
