----------------------------------------------------------
Name: Shae Hollisway
How long have you been published? I have been published a few times throughout my school
career but I published my first book August 1st, 2015.
What's the worst part about being
published? I think that the worst part about being published would be
how sociable you have to be to promote the book because I’m such an introvert
and so shy.
What's the best part about being
published? The best thing about being published is I think relishing in
the possibility that someone will pick up my work and read it and that it will
resonate in them in a way that begins their healing process.
Are you self published or did you
go through a publishing company? I am self published. The highs were having total creative
control and not having to deal with anyone else. The lows would be having to
self promote and market the book which I have not mastered yet.
What is the name of your book(s)? The name my first book is entitled Scarred and Faceless. It’s
a small poetry collection.
Was it/were they an easy write for
you? I think it was relatively easy to write. It was kind
of a memoir of my life from when I first started finding my voice as a writer
to when I published the book. So like, a retelling of my short life
through poetry.
What's the hardest part about
writing a book? The hardest part about writing a book is trying to organize
all my ideas into in a way that would make sense to a reader. At any
given time I have so many story pieces in my head, the very thought of sorting
through them is exhausting.
What's the easiest part about
writing a book? The easiest part about writing a book is coming up with an
idea. It’s so easy putting an idea together. It’s planning it out and then
putting it together.
Where can interested readers
purchase their copy of your book(s)? If any readers are interested in purchasing Scarred and
Faceless, they can find it at The Book Patch.
Do you have any future projects in
the works? I have quite a few projects in the works but no release
dates as of right now.
Do you have any social media sites
that you would like to share with my readers? I have a Twitter account specifically for author related
things under my new pen name. I’m on Wordpress and
I’m also on Instagram.
