In this first book in the series a chance event in a forest near Jack’s home opens his eyes to the world of ‘Fey’: a place filled with magic, enchantments, shape-changing people, and creatures unlike anything Jack has ever seen. Jack unwittingly tears great holes between the two worlds, opening Jack’s normal life up to host of dangers and oddities. Jack feels that it’s his duty to fix it. (NOTE: The sequel is now available too, please pop over to check it out, it has zombies!)

I am an interested writer myself, at 15 years old. I was just wondering, if you don’t mind me asking, what route you took to becoming an author? Did you study English, in further education? Or is it just a hobby?

I studied English for a few semesters but as a subject it’s more about critical analysis. I actually got my degree in Philosophy, it makes you think in different ways and introduces you to ideas you might not have considered.
The key thing that helps me write though is reading, when I get the chance I read. It’s the best advice I could give a writer, we need to see what works before we try ourselves. Saves us from making as many mistakes.
In terms of a ‘job’, I know a few professional writers and the way they earn is a lot like self-employment. You’re crafting a product, your wage is directly dependent on people buying that product. It can be tough but it’s also a huge thrill to have someone pay you for your work.
Another source of income for a lot of writers is copy editing or copy writing (writing material for businesses and individuals). You basically use your craft to make pamphlets, catalogues, web sites etc. look more apealing whilst divulging information in a succinct, digestible way. It can pay well and keeps you honing your craft. 🙂
Hope all of that helps 🙂
