Interview With Author Kinga Will
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Kinga Will, an author interested in the quieter, often overlooked parts of everyday life — exhaustion, resilience, change, and the feeling that there must be another way to live. I write for people, particularly women, who spend so much time coping and looking after everything that they sometimes forget to make room for themselves. I have written two books, both exploring these themes from different perspectives.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Before You Say “I’ll Manage” Again: 30 Days to Stop Just Surviving and Make Some Room for Yourself. It was inspired by a simple phrase so many women use: “I’ll manage.” Sometimes those two words really mean, “I’m exhausted, but I’ll keep going anyway.” I wanted to write something gentle and realistic for women who recognise that feeling. Rather than offering another demanding self-improvement programme, the book gives readers 30 short opportunities to slow down, reflect, and begin making a little more room for themselves.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t have a particularly glamorous writing routine. I prefer writing when an idea feels clear rather than forcing myself to produce a certain number of words every day. I often begin with one thought, question, or sentence that stays in my mind and build from there. I like writing to feel conversational, as though I’m speaking directly to one person rather than addressing a huge audience.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m influenced less by one particular author and more by books that make people stop and recognise something of themselves in what they are reading. I’m drawn to honest, reflective writing about resilience, identity, change and the realities of everyday life. I especially appreciate books that feel human and accessible rather than telling readers that they simply need to try harder
What are you working on now?
At the moment, I’m giving my first two books time to find their readers rather than rushing immediately into another project. I have ideas for future books, but I want the next one to exist because I genuinely have something worth saying, not simply because I feel pressure to publish another title.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still a new author, so I’m currently learning what works best. I’m focusing on helping the right readers discover my books through Amazon Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and book discovery communities. For me, promotion is less about reaching as many people as possible and more about reaching readers who genuinely connect with the subject.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t wait until everything feels perfect. Finish the book, put it into the world, and learn from what happens next. At the same time, don’t measure the value of your writing only by immediate sales. Finding readers takes time. Write something you believe deserves to exist, then give it a genuine chance to find the people who need it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have ever heard is that you do not have to do everything at once. Small, consistent steps matter more than short bursts of perfection. Progress is often invisible while you are making it, but if you keep going, the results eventually appear. This advice has helped me both in writing and in everyday life.
What are you reading now?
I enjoy reading books about personal growth, resilience, wellbeing and real-life experiences. I am particularly interested in books that help people navigate stress, burnout and major life changes while still finding hope and purpose.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan to continue writing practical and encouraging books for people who feel overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck. My goal is to create honest, accessible books that help readers slow down, reflect and make positive changes without adding more pressure to their lives.
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?
I would probably cheat a little and choose books I could return to many times: a great novel, a practical survival guide, something about psychology and human behaviour, and a very large blank notebook. If I were going to be stuck there for a while, I would definitely need something to write in too!
