Exclusive Interview with
Newton Lee
When did you start writing?
I started writing when I was a teenager.
What makes writing your passion?
I love to express my thoughts in words.
How long have you been writing?
Several decades.
What was the feeling when you published your first book?
Very excited.
What’s the story behind your choice of characters?
What annoys you the most in pursuing a writing career?
How do you get over the “writer’s block”?
By reading and doing research on the topics that I am writing about.
We all know the writer’s path is never easy, what makes you keep going? What advice would you give to new authors?
There are so many interesting topics to write about.
If you could go back in time and talk to your younger self, what would you say?
Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with the bad ones?
Yes, with a grain of salt.
What is the feeling when you get a good review?
Elated!
Have you ever incorporated something that happened to you in real life into your novels?
Yes, of course.
Which of your characters you can compare yourself with? Did you base that character on you?
What do you think, the book cover is as important as the story?
Yes and no.
Do you connect with your readers? Do you mind having a chat with them or you prefer to express yourself through your writing?
I enjoy answering questions from readers.
How do you feel when people appreciate your work or recognize you in public?
I feel that I am really communicating with the public.
Who is your favorite author? Why?
What’s the dream? Whom would you like to be as big as?
Would you rewrite any of your books? Why?
If you could switch places with any author – who would that be?
What would you say to the “trolls” on the internet? We all know them – people who like to write awful reviews to books they’ve never read or didn’t like that much, just to annoy the author.
What would you say to your readers?
Share a bit about yourself – where do you live, are you married, do you have kids?
What is your day job if you have one?
What are your hobbies? What do you do in your free time?
Did you have a happy childhood?
Is there a particular experience that made you start writing?
Do you have unpublished books? What are they about?
Yes, of course. I think every author has unpublished books.
What do you think should be improved in the education of our children? What do we lack?
Reading!
If you were allowed 3 wishes – what would they be?
