Giveaway! At Every Turn by Anne Mateer!

Welcome to Writing for Christ Anne Mateer, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?

I’m not sure this is an “interesting” fact, but I started college as an English major (because I wanted to be a writer) but switched to history after my first semester because my English professor gave me a C in my freshman writing class! I pretty much thought I was done as a writer after that.

Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?

Historical fiction has always been my favorite to read and write, but I have written contemporary novels (unpublished) and I enjoy reading many genres, though I don’t read some as often as others. For instance, when I read suspense, it can’t be too scary, and even then I’m usually only up for 1 or 2 a year!

Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how you view writing?

I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is that it is okay to work at writing. I used to believe that unless it came naturally, it wasn’t legitimate. Now I’ve learned that crafting a story takes thought, planning and precision, and that rewriting is actually the most legitimate work I do as a writer.

5 things you love?

There are so many things I love! Besides Jesus, my husband and my kids, I’d have to say chocolate, books, travel (especially when it involves touring historical places!), coffee, and good friends.

What do you enjoy most about being a published author?

Meeting other readers! I’m not a super outgoing person, but somehow that one common interest propels me out of myself and into conversation. I love meeting people who enjoy books as much as I do!
