  • Questions We Asked
    You graduated with a degree in Creative Writing which means you had an affinity for writing even before you left for college. After studying the writing process and reading mountains of good literature, it shows in your books that you understand both the science and the art that is novel writing. What specific advantages did taking courses provide you as an author?
    Last year, you came to visit my school district and we had the pleasure of hearing your advice to young writers. There were some very poignant details that helped not only my own students understand the writing process, but it helped me as well. Can you give us a quick rundown of the of the advice you give to writers during your travels?
    The focus of your currently published books is on fairytale retellings. Can you give us a brief rundown of which fairytales you choose to redevelop and why?
    I imagine that many schools have opted to use your books as resources for studying the legends that they explore. I also saw on your website that you created teacher guides to help educators teach students about the history of these fairytales. This is a genius way to help extend the reach of your books into the classrooms around the world. Was this part of your marketing strategy from the get-go or was this an afterthought?
    How do you strike a good balance between writing your current work in progress and marketing your already published titles? Specifically, which platforms are your primary focus?
    You're currently employed as a Copywriter at the John Wiley and Sons, Inc. publishing company, having also worked there in Editorial and Publicity capacities. So you know how the publishing world works from the inside. What tips and tricks would you give to writers who have finished their manuscript and are ready to start querying agents and seeking publishers?
    One of the best ways to help make your books rise above the flooded publishing market is garner positive reviews on goodreads, amazon and any other platform on which books are published or talked about. I noticed that your books have tons of reviews, the vast majority very positive. Aside from writing very well-developed books, what is your strategy to ensure that your books get so many positive reviews?
    What books are you currently working on? What can we expect to see in on Annie Sullivan’s published works list in the near future?
