Author’s Profile: Michael Girgenti
Q1. Hello Sir, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hi, my name is Michael Girgenti, founder of Strawberry Pencil Magic, our mission is to keep dreams and dreamers alive. Originally from IL but currently residing in CA.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Woodrow And The Bees’ book?
The key challenge with #WATB and for all our books is to keep the reader interested in where the story is going. Within a lot of books you can tell from the beginning where it is going to end.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Most influenced, I would say Seuss in my childhood / early years for sure.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
No favourite US spots, I find beauty everywhere, still a lot to see 😉
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
Not at all, once the idea comes, it flows out very quick.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Little Catty Poo’ book?
It took less than a week for the initial draft.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find your books to buy?
Primarily Amazon, Audible, and select Barnes & Noble (*Burbank CA Location)
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Woodrow And The Bees’ and for the book ‘Little Catty Poo’?
I give the illustrators a little direction and let them do whatever they feel is best, creative freedom is important especially if you really believe in your co-workers, most creatives do not like limits.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I try to approach things from a new angle, just about everything has been done so it’s all about your spin on it.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
Yes… you’re going to want more!!!
Thank you for the interview, and remember… Look for the star!
