Interview With Author Scott Newman
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve only written one so far, but have plans for at least two more in the future.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Clown in the Church and Other Spooky Tales. It’s the title of one of my stories on the Nosleep forum on Reddit, and it’s one that seemed to genuinely frighten people.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not particularly, I usually write on the fly with little to no planning. As a panster if I remember the term correctly.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Can’t say really anybody. I don’t have much time to read these days unfortunately.
What are you working on now?
Promoting my first short story collection, and outlining my next one.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still finding that out, I’ll let you know.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I would say start with what interests you and go from there. Don’t sweat it too much.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I think to have a minimum word goal each time you sit down to write.
What are you reading now?
More nosleep and creepypasta, I love horror.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue building my story collections.
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 don’t know…world war z for one, I go back to that every few years.
