Interview With Author Samantha Picaro
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a self-published author of YA and have written 2 books. One of them releases on May 17. When I’m not writing, I’m playing a video game, watching a TV show – most likely something like 9-1-1 or Gravity Falls – and reading.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Recipe for Confidence. It was inspired by my personal experience of feeling like a failure, especially for going back to school to get a second Master’s recently until I realized paths can change and that success is how I measure it, not how others measure it. That’s what the main character, Bryn, comes to realize, too.
What are you working on now?
My third book, which will explore friendship apps.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Instagram without a doubt. I find the most engagement especially with Instagram Story Polls and Quizzes.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do you research, especially on what hats you have to wear besides writer: marketer, publicist, editor, and so on.
What are you reading now?
D’Vaughn & Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on my third book and coming up with ideas for a fourth book.
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?
Going Off Script by Jen Wilde
If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann
The Nanny Returns by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus
The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa
