Skyla asked Samuel DenHartog:

Do you have colleagues or team members?

Samuel DenHartog All of my books are entirely written by me. I occasionally use a cover artist for visual work. Still, when it comes to the writing, the characters, and the story, they are entirely my creation. I sometimes use AI tools, but the creative decisions, the voice, and the finished product are all mine.

I enjoy writing books because I'm constantly learning something new—whether it's about history, human nature, or how to express an idea better. Every story I write teaches me something; that ongoing discovery is a huge part of why I keep writing.

I also love that writing is something I can do entirely on my own. I don’t need a team, a studio, or a production crew. It’s just me, the page, and whatever world I’m building. That independence and creative control are deeply satisfying.
