My First Interview

I published my debut novel last Friday which was my childhood dream come true. Suffice to say my head has been in the clouds all week. I had an interview with Jonathan Diehl from Ohio state university about my self publishing journey which has just gone live on the university’s blog. I’ve been excited all day to read it!

What made you decide to self-publish?

I always had in the back of my mind to go down the traditional route. As I got into using twitter and into reading blogs of other writers, I got a good background knowledge on self-publishing, which was this emerging thing that was just starting to snowball. As I learned more about it, I got more excited about it.

I started to send my novel to traditional agents in queries. I started to get a bit impatient even though I knew the process would be lengthy. I felt very enthusiastic about the self-publishing route. It felt right, the time felt right, and I always listen to my gut instinct. To me, self publishing, this time in my life, is the way to go.
