Viola Vincent Reporting -
Underdog
1.
What
really inspired you to write your book, to force you from taking an idea or
experience and conveying it into a book? I was
inspired by the young people I meet who are concerned about what is going on in
the world around them and who want to change things they perceive as unfair,
unjust or dishonest. I hope my stories empower them and show them their voices
matter. I chose to focus on puppy farming in this book because it is a global
issue, one that kids can relate and potentially influence by speaking up in
their communities.
2. What is it about
and whom do you believe is your targeted reader? The
book is about a determined 13-year-old girl who learns about a puppy farm
operating in her community and sets out to save a young breeding bitch captive
there. The book is aimed at 10 to 14 year olds. It would appeal to kids who
love animals and are passionate about animal welfare.
3. What do you hope
will be the everlasting thoughts for readers who finish your book? What should
remain with them long after putting it down? I
hope readers will be left with two thoughts: the clear knowledge that puppy
farming is a cruel and barbaric industry and ordinary people, even kids can influence
change if they care enough
4. What advice or
words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers? Just
sit down and write. Everything else can wait!
5. What trends in the
book world do you see and where do you think the book publishing industry is
heading? Self-publishing is revolutionizing the book
publishing industry which is a good thing for writers and readers.
6. What great challenges
did you have in writing your book? Finding
the time while working full time, learning the ins and outs of self-publishing,
watching heartbreaking footage of what goes on inside puppy farms/mills
7. If people can only
buy one book this month, why should it be yours? This
book could flick a switch in your child’s head and they could grow an inch
taller knowing the power they possess as a citizen of this world.
