Interview With Author Maria Davies
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m 23 years old and from Essex, UK. I currently have 4 poetry books released on Amazon, and in 2 independent bookshops.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent release was ‘Letters Through a Storm’ and it’s based on mental health, as are all my books. They feature the good, and the bad – yet all with their unique differences.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My books are short so they can be quick to read, yet easy to pick back up and re read/refer back to.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love listening to Button poetry on YouTube, specifically Neil Hilborn and Rhiannon McGavin, among others. I’m also a fan of r.h Sin and his Whiskey Words and a Shovel series.
What are you working on now?
I have a new book in the making. It’ll be my 5th; and although I’m not very far into it, I’m very excited.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My Instagram page @thereistimepoetry
And in its bio is my Linktree along with links to my books on Amazon.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Go after what you want. Don’t be afraid to try, because it’ll never make you worse off than you were before. If I can do it you can too.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Believe in myself more.
What are you reading now?
I’m not currently reading any books, but one of my favourites I read was The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Also, with poetry books, I loved Neil Hilborn’s Our Numbered Days.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To carry on writing and creating books. I never wanted the money side of things, I just wanted to put my writing out there in the hopes it helps someone in a similar situation to me.
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?
Neil Hilborn Our Numbered Days
Mitch Albom The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Kristin Hannah The Great Alone
