Yay!
I’ve been friends with C.L. Brierley for about 2 years. She runs The Writer’s Community Promotion Page on Instagram, which is a free promotion page she built to help promote all writers.
She is also a writer. I have had the pleasure of interviewing her about her new book, The Unexpected, and how it has contributed to her Author Brand.
The Interview
Q: How and when did you start writing?
I started when I was in primary school in English. It was one of the few things I enjoyed about that time. I was also an avid reader as books were an escape for me. I started writing properly when I was 14 on an online platform.
Q: Where did you get the inspiration for your current book, “The Unexpected?”
The Unexpected came into existence thanks to my GCSE English teacher making my class do an exercise. She encouraged me to continue is and was supportive of my writing.
Q: What would you say was the most challenging aspect of publishing your book?
Figuring out all the paperwork and tech stuff on platforms such as Amazon. It isn’t easy unless you have friends that have done it first.
Q: How did your book’s release influence your brand?
I think it has made more people take me serious as a writer. It has made me want to publish more books too! It is such a fantastic feeling having people pay for your work and enjoy it
Q: Where do you see your personal brand in the future? What goals do you have?
I want it (The Writer’s Community Promotion Page) to be a place people can come and enjoy books, feel at ease, and enjoy reading. I hope to have a better schedule for promoting my work too. And I hope to grow my audience and reach more people.
Q: Who do you consider to be the biggest influence on your writing?
The G.O.A.T of fantasy, J.R.R. Tolkien.
Q: Do you have any advice you would love to give your younger self?
Do more writing, you’re better than you think at it, and you’re going to be okay.
In closing...
C.L Brierley’s book is available on Amazon and on Apple Books. Be sure to give both her personal Instagram, @clbrierley, and her Promotion Page, @thewriterscommnuitypromopage, a look.
She is an amazing person and fantastic writer. I know I can’t wait to see how her brand continues to grow and I can’t wait for her future books.
Thanks for reading and Happy Writing!
