Could you tell us a bit about your journey over the past seven years?
BookTok has clearly been a big fan of your books, especiallyThe Mountain Is Youand101 Essays.
What was that like to see your books quite literally all over TikTok?
I absolutely never get used to it, its incredible every time another video pops up on my FYP.
Before TikTok, what were your main marketing avenues?
How did you get the word out about your books?
I think it was mostly Instagram.
And I think a lot of that is a matter of just writing what youd need to read.
What does the writing routine of an international bestseller look like?
Its changed over the years.
Back then, I believed strongly in waking up and just writing, first thing.
No hesitation, no overthinking just flow.
These days, I mostly just write when I feel like it.
What is the biggest piece of advice youd give someone just starting out their writing career?
Sometimes those two things can overlap, but sometimes they dont.
If you could find a way to do both at once?
To write for the pure love of it.
I think thats how real magic is made.
