Interview with Emma Jakobsen

Published 2014-11-28.
What do you read for pleasure?
I enjoy any novel that can get me hooked in the first/second chapter.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
My iPhone or iPad.
What book marketing techniques have been most effective for you?
Flyers and getting friends to tell their friends has been effective.
Describe your desk
My desk is really messy and completely blanketed with note books. When I write, I'm usually in my bed.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a small town in the valley. People are very gossip-y, nosy, and prejudiced there. I didn't have many friends until the 8th grade. This is all influencing a novel I am currently writing.
When did you first start writing?
Second Grade.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I believe strongly in doing what is morally right, even if it is against a law/rule. So, my short story "Scales and Skin" is about morality vs. law.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
My love for reading and writing.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Smashwords has helped me gain a place to start off.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I love being able to write and know that my writing could be helping people, or answering questions. I love that my writing can affect people.
What do your fans mean to you?
I love my fans, because they're there for me even when I publish a crappy book.
What are you working on next?
A novel about teen depression.
