AUTHOR ASK, WE ANSWER
Hi bookworms! Today we are doing an interview again but unlike most interview where bloggers ask the questions, this time we will be the one doing the answering! Heather Hildenbrand approached us for the interview, I got really excited for this opportunity. Here is my interview with Heather and I hope you enjoy it!
Are you a
writer?
I consider myself as one so yes. I’ve
written a few articles for my local newspapers and I’m working on a novel at
the moment.
Do you have
aspirations of publishing a book someday?
Yes, very much so! It’s been my dream since
middle school. I’ve written a few short stories and now, I’m working on my
first novel. I hope I manage to finish and publish it in the near future.
What is
your overall opinion of self-publishing?
With the modern media and technology that
enables anyone to promote their works through social medias, self-publishing is
a good way to publish our book without being tied to large publishing house/
company. We can write on our own pace and liking since there’s no publisher
that neither gives us deadline nor tells us to change any of the things we
write.
Do you read
self-published books?
Yes. I’ve come across several
self-published books and in fact, since I started my blog I received a few
self-published book review request. And I accepted them. I often found these
self-published books to be an undiscovered gem!
What is one
thing you like about reading or working with indie authors?
We feel a deeper connection with indie
authors because they’re more approachable. I also found indie authors to be
more appreciative of any help and inputs from their reviewers and readers.
What is one
thing indie authors are doing well?
Definitely communication. They are making
the most of social medias to get their book out there. Another thing is the
increasing indie authors and readers community, which enables indie authors to
communicate with each other and with fellow readers.
