Nadia Brown interview, author of Unscrambled
Eggs
Where were you born and raised?
I was born in Queens, New York
but was raised and currently reside in the sunshine state of Miami, Florida.
What was it that first got you into writing and when did you start
writing?
When I was younger I wrote song lyrics when I was about 12 years
old, though I did not consider myself a writer of any sort at the time, but I
began writing poems around seven years ago, and from there, my writing
progressed dramatically. Just two years ago I started writing articles on book
marketing, politics and how-to articles on writing.
Which writers have influenced you the most?
There are a few writers I have been influenced by whose work I
have stumbled across on the Internet, but they are not well known, and there
are other famous writers like Maya Angelou and Billy Collins who have
influenced me greatly.
What kind of things do you write?
I write poetry; my poems tend to be on a wide-range of themes. I
also write song lyrics and articles mainly on book marketing, writing and on
politics. In the future I would love to write either a novel or screenplay.
What are you working on now?
After publishing my first book of poems titled, Unscrambled
Eggs, I have been working hard to market this book, which has been well
received by the public and has gotten many good reviews. I am composing another
collection and trying to divide my time as a freelance writer and a
businesswoman. I am also the founder of Author-Promotion.com. It is a resource
directory for aspiring and established authors alike and also showcases their
literary works.
What is your writing day like?
I always try to do something related to my work on a daily basis,
but I do not have a specific writing schedule as time doesn't always afford me
the chance to write for various reasons. There are days when it seems I write
endlessly, and there are days I don't write at all.
What’s the most exciting thing about writing for you?
It is exciting to create, and anytime I create I enjoy the
process. I take extreme pleasure from being able to write things that are of
substance and meaningful to people’s daily lives.
What’s the most frustrating thing about writing for you?
The most frustrating thing about writing is not always having the
time to write and not yet being able to write in the form of excellence.
What’s
the best piece of feedback that you've had from your audience?
I
have been fortunate to have been blessed to receive many good reviews for my
book Unscrambled Eggs. I have also been told by writers that my articles
on book marketing and tips on writing have been beneficial to them. This is
what I aspire to do is to have my work (words) be of value to those who read
it.
Do
you write for a particular audience, or is your first priority to satisfy your
own creativity?
I
do try to keep readers in mind, but I write for myself and hope there will be
readers who relate to my work. I believe when writers write from the heart,
write with excellence, write with a sense of purpose, or write to inform
readers then they will always have an audience for their work.
Do you have a homepage? Do you have any short stories or poems
published online? (If so, please provide the URLs):
Readers can learn more about my work and read sample poems from my
book Unscrambled Eggs. They can also read reviews, articles and
some poems I will have published for my next poetry collection on my website at
www.nadiabrown.com.
I have also launched a website for authors called Author-Promotion.com (Author &
Book Promotion). It was launched for aspiring and established authors alike. It
is a resource directory for authors -- comprised of articles, marketing tips, and
resources on book promotion. For authors wanting greater exposure, a “featured
books” section is available on www.author-promotion.com.
It is a service that A&BP is providing to best-selling and new authors
seeking an increase in their online
book publicity.
