Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello! My name is Zenah Khoder and I’m a debut author trying to make it in the writing world. I have written many, many books since I was a 12 year old girl. But have recently been officially published! The name of my novel is Alesandese and it’s a very exciting story for every one tog read but mostly aimed toward YA.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my novel is Alesandese. What inspired it are many factors actually. I wanted to write a book with a strong, determined heroine who would not take shit from anyone. The main character is actually inspired by me and my views, not everything of course, but most things. I want young girls and boys to read my book and look up to her and cheer for her during her hardships. But I also want her to inspire them and teach them to never give up – no matter how bleak the situation may seem.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so. I love to listen to music while writing, it gives me inspiration and also new ideas sometimes.
What are you working on now?
Right now I’m between two projects. A prequel for ny newly published novel, Alesandese. And another dystopian YA story that I have wanted to write for a long time.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Since I am a newly published author, I am trying to make my book visible to as many readers as possible. It’s not simple, I’ll you that. I try to publish everything on different kinds of social media to try and reach out to as many people as possible.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Most of this will sound cliché but never give up! Always try your best and write what YOU want to write. Never try to please anyone but yourself, because if you do, you will never be really satisfied with what you’ve come up with.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To write for myself. I will never write well if I try to please everyone. And never write to please the market. If my book is written well and has a great plot and interesting characters – then hopefully, it will get the attention it deserves.
What are you reading now?
Different books but I want to read Harry Potter and The Cursed Child to see if it’s worth all the hype and hate.
