I'd like to welcome Lisa Amowitz onto the blog today for an interview! I recently reviewed three of her books and loved them all!
Onto the interview!
Do you have a set routine for writing?
Generally, I try to get in 1-2 hours of writing/revising each morning.
What's your favourite tip for newbie writers?
Focus on your craft, take criticism graciously, and don’t be in a rush to publish.
What was your experience writing your first book?
My first book was TERRIBLE. It took me three years to write and is now in a dark, dark drawer never to be seen again. My second book wasn’t much better, but it only took me a year to write. My third book got me my first agent, but was never published. My fourth book got me my second agent and became my THIRD published book, and my fifth book, BREAKING GLASS became my first published book. I still love that book and indie-published it in 2022 after getting my rights back from my publisher.
Do you have a favourite place to write outside of your usual space?
I love writing outside on the deck of the little cottage we rent every summer in upstate NY.
Do you hoard notebooks or anything else writing related?
Yes. I hoard notebooks! And books. And bookshelves.
Which genre is your favourite to write in?
Up until this year I have written only YA. This year I’m starting a new genre, cozy paranormal mystery.
Which social media do you enjoy using the most?
I don’t love social media and that’s why I’ve hired an assistant to help me with it.
What's your favourite writing snack?
I guzzle either coffee, coconut water, or tea. Not much of a snacker!
You can follow Lisa on her website, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky & TikTok.
