Emilia Ramos Samper. Author Bio:
My name is Emilia Ramos Samper and I am one of the youngest people to ever publish a novel. I wrote my first book, “Crown of Scales and Wonder” when I was ten and my second book is coming out this year. I’ve won 1st and 3rd place in the LaPlume Young Writer’s Contest. My hobbies include theatre, voice, and playwriting!
What inspires you to write?
I have been fascinated with books ever since kindergarten. There was something about the worlds and characters that authors could create with a single sentence that made me so determined to do the same. In elementary school, I buried myself in books until one day I decided to write one. In fourth grade, I did, and now I'm a proud twelve-year-old author. Beasts, dark magic, and all things fantasy inspire the world of my books. However, I also take aspects of trips and people I've met on them into my books.
Tell us about your writing process.
Between school and work, I have very little time to louse off during drafting. So, I have gotten into the habit of setting word counts and goals to keep me on track. I love outlining, planning, and making all sorts of maps for my world and character relationships!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Actually, I often get ideas for character conversations while I'm writing, and before I know it I'm out of my seat acting them out!
Who are your favorite authors?
One of my favorite authors is Christopher Paolini, because I love the way he writes mythical creatures with such grace and depth. I also love Leigh Bardugo for her intriguing character work. In her novel, "Six of Crows" the characters have so much depth and backstory, something I try to include in my own work.
What genres do you write?
fantasy, teen, YA
How did you choose the genre(s) you write?
I chose to write fantasy because I love the experience of diving into an exotic new world, clueless as to all the wonders it beholds. And for teen/YA, I enjoy bringing a young mind's perspective not only in the reading of books, but in their making!
What three things are on your writing desk at any given moment?

What hobbies do you have when you need a break from writing?
