Name: Nate Johnson
How long have you been published?
February 2017
What's the worst part about being published?
If that was a bad part of being published, the criticism can be tough to take
some days.
What's the best part about being published?
I can call myself an author. Seeing a creation coming into fruition is great. It’s
as intense process and it’s satisfying to see it finished.
Are you self-published or did you go through a publishing
company? Self-published.
*What are the highs, if any?
Seeing my books on Amazon is awesome.
*What are the lows, if any?
It’s a lot of work. When friends binge Netflix or go out to eat or relax, I’m
writing. Sometimes I feel like I miss out on those small moments.
What is the name of your book(s)?
Above Average Stories, 91 Books to Change Your Life, 101 Haikus
Was it/were they an easy write for you? These
three books come to fruition from my blog. Once I started seeing a pattern in
my blog, I would take the related posts and add original content. Editing and
revising was and still is the toughest part for me.
What's the hardest part about writing a book? Revising
and editing and formatting. Once I have the story complete, I have all of the
admin steps to go. It’s a long road to see the book come to the end. Some days
it can be tough to write if I don’t feel in the mood.
What's the easiest part about writing a book?
The first spark of the idea. I get excited and begin typing like the keyboard
is on fire.
Do you have any future projects in the works?
Yes. I’m working on my first piece of fiction, “Nate and Jake Penguin”.
*Is there a tentative release date? TBD
Do you have any social media sites that you would like to
share with my readers? My Website and My YouTube Channel

What's the worst part about being published? The expectations of others in the industry.
What's the best part about being published? The recognition and the praise I receive.
Are you self-published or did you go through a publishing company? I am self-published, but have been previously signed to two companies.
*What are the highs, if any? The highs of being self-published for me are the ability to have creative control over everything. I set my own release dates, and are not bogged down by deadlines and expectations.
*What are the lows, if any? Unfortunately, when it comes to self-publishing, you have to spend more money out of pocket.
What is the name of your book(s)? The ILL Truth, A Fem’s Playground, The Power of The V, Kasualties
Was it/were they an easy write for you? There were all easy writes for me because I am very passionate about the stories I tell.
