I am a high school librarian, and my high school boys love your Hoop City and Texas Fridays series. We can't keep them on the shelf. I have a ton of soccer players who would love a good boys soccer series. Any chance you would be willing to write a soccer series?
Sam Moussavi Hello Kerri,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm glad your students enjoy both series. To answer your question, I would be willing to write a soccer series, but I am not working with the company anymore which published HC & TF. If you know of any imprint that would fund the project, I'd be willing to listen.

Best!

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Sam Moussavi It sounds simple but an aspiring writer should write and write often. I've had occasion to cross paths with other people who tout themselves as writers but have no pages to show for it. Be sure you're not a person who claims to be something you're not. Namely, if you say you are a writer, make sure you can slap some pages on the table! It doesn't matter if those pages are good or quality right away. Having them to begin with is a good enough start.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Sam Moussavi I take a deep breath, do something active such as hiking or running, then throw myself back at the page! There's simply no substitute for making yourself write sometimes, even if you're not feeling inspired. Hope that helps!
