Anne-Marie Conway Interview

Thanks for taking part, loved you answers :)

1) How long have you known you wanted to write?

I've always loved writing but I first thought about writing a novel when my first son was a baby and I was off work and suddenly had lots of time at home. So it was about 10 years ago.

2) Who is the person who inspired you most?

This is a really difficult person. Do you mean writing person? Or just in general? I'm not sure I know the answer to this one, but I have read loads of books which I've found inspiring, especially books for children.

3) What's your most embarrassing moment?

 I can't tell you my MOST embarrassing moment because it's a little bit too grown up, but I did wet myself on stage once when I was singing as an 8 year old. It's because the act we were doing went completely wrong and I was laughing so much I couldn't hold it in!!!!

4) What is your favourite flavour crisp?

 Ready Salted

5) Jeans or skirt? (I know, kind of random)

 Definitely jeans although I struggle to find a pair I really love.

6) What music are you into?

 I LOVE musicals and although Les Miserables has been my favourite for years and years it's recently been taken over by Matilda! I can't stop singing the songs and it's driving my family MAD!!!

7) Who is your favourite author?

 My favourite author at the moment is Jandy Nelson who wrote The Sky is Everywhere. It's such a beautiful book.

8) What is your proudest moment?

 Do you mean as an author? Well it has to be when I first got short listed in a competition. It was the Times/Chicken House competition and it was the first time I'd had the slightest indication from anyone else that I actually could write. I literally put down the phone and screamed!!!!! I'd been dreaming of that phone call for so long I couldn't believe it was really happening.

Thanks again! Love the books :)
