Inside the Mind - Amanda Harris

  • Q: What inspired you to start writing?
    I write to give voice to the unknown--to give that which we cannot see a tangible voice and body.
  • Q: Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book is a project I change frequently--not because I don't write often but because I am always writing.
  • Q: How do you create your characters?
    My characters dance around my mind before they become legible enough to put on paper.
  • Q: What does your typical writing day look like?
    I wait for the muse to hit me.
  • Q: What has been the most rewarding part of being an indie author?
    The most rewarding part for me is always publishing day.
  • Q: What’s one challenge you’ve faced in your writing journey?
    My biggest challenge is to find the words that suit the book.
  • Q: Do you have any favorite writing tools or apps?
    I don't believe in tools or apps. Perhaps I am old school. I believe in looking at the page and waiting for the words to come.
  • Q: What advice would you give to new or aspiring indie authors?
    Don't overlook kindness--however small.
  • Q: How do you handle book promotion as an indie author?
    I believe in reaching out to agents for that kind of thing.
  • Q: What’s next for you? Are you working on a new book?
    I'm always working on something.
