Author Interview with the very talented author Samantha Picaro!
Hi, Samantha Picaro. Welcome to the Indie Publishing Group website! Introduce yourself to us. Tell everyone who you are, where you’re from, what you enjoy doing, and your hobbies and interests.
Introduce yourself to us.
I’m not just a writer but an avid reader of YA, fiction, and nonfiction. I work in the nonprofit world, and I enjoy volunteering, like delivering animal food to animal shelters. I like video games, miniseries on Netflix, true crime shows, and movies (preferably animated).
What was the hardest part of self-publishing?
Marketing, aka spreading awareness of the book.
What is your preferred genre to write in?
Young Adult Contemporary.
Have you got anything you’re working on now?
I’m writing my next YA Contemporary, and all I’ll say is that it involves lots of cake and cupcakes.
If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and why?
The ability to calm someone down, no matter how angry or upset they are. I know there’s a name for this superpower, but I don’t know what.
What’s your process when you sit down and decide to start writing a book, and do you have a system?
I have coffee, of course, listen to pop or electronic music, and hop to it. I’m a plotter, so I prefer to plan the plot with an outline rather than just writing the book without a plan.
Who are some of your favorite authors?
Sophie Kinsella, Claire Kann, Sarah Dessen, and Sabaa Tahir.
