Please welcome Marco Marek to my blog today. Great to have you on. Shall we get started?
Please introduce yourself to those reading this blog post.
Hello there, I’m Marco Marek, I’m a writer from Italy and I write most in English because the market is more wide and I don’t want to be restricted to just one country.
Has writing always been part of your life and when did you “know” that it was time to start writing your first book?
Well, I started in 2010, I always liked fantasy movies and books, like the Lord of Rings, Jules Verne, Harry Potter etc. I thought one day why I can write my own fantasy story? Then I wrote my first book Hyperearth.
How difficult was it writing your first book?
I think for me it was never been difficult writing, I have a story in mind then I develop it while I’m writing, I plan the plot sometimes so it more easy to write.
Have you ever wanted to give up and what stopped you?
I don’t know, I think I never thought to give up, most the promotion and asking for a review it is stressful since you find lot of people lazy and take ages until they write a review, and sometimes they don’t leave it at all.
Who is the most supportive of you and your dream to be a writer?
Family and some relatives, friends, the dream is to see your book on cinema screen!
Anything specific you want to tell your readers?
To read without prejudice, some readers would like your book must be a masterpiece, and written like they want. Instead a reader should read and appreciate every story a writer has to say, then can express their thought.
What is the best advice given to you (book or otherwise), and by whom?
Read read read a lot and learn then you can write… I think it was Stephen King
What is your target audience and what aspect of your writing do you feel targets that audience?
Young adult, hoping they enjoy the adventures that are on my books
Did the cover evolve the same way, or did you work with someone to make it come together for you?
First two books I created my self the cover, for the trilogy I hired a professional artist, that she created the cover like I wanted.
What are you working on now? Can we get a peek, an excerpt?
I ended a book just some months ago, It is a story of a woman, former singer star in decadence and a bit depressed who has won an holiday in Mexico, then she will meet a man who had some issues than her plus amnesia, then they will be involved in various adventures…
Any last words before we wrap things up?
Hope to get more Fantasy readers, they are important for us indie authors, with they help we can grow more, so please leave a review, that’s our best reward.
