Interview with Author – Rachel K. Burke

By Interviews With Writers Leave a Comment

Author Bio:
Rachel discovered she wanted to be a writer at the age of ten, when her love of R.L. Stine murder mystery novels inspired her to start writing her own.

In 2008, Rachel combined her love of writing and music and began freelancing for a music column in Worcester Magazine, where she interviewed local city artists as well as mainstream artists such as Tegan and Sara and Buckcherry.

After graduating from Bridgewater University in 2011, Rachel released her first novel, Sound Bites: A Rock & Roll Love Story, which was ranked a 2012 Amazon Kindle Top 100 Bestseller in the Girls & Women genre.

Rachel’s second novel, Finding Mia, was also ranked a 2013 Amazon Kindle Top 100 Bestseller in the Women’s Fiction and Literary Fiction genres.

Rachel currently resides in Santa Monica, CA and is working on her third novel, Love Bites – Book 2 in the Sound Bites series.

What inspires you to write?
There’s nothing else I could see myself doing.

Tell us about your writing process.
I type up an outline of what I want to cover in each chapter. I typically write several nights per week until the book is complete.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Each character is typically inspired by real-life people. I strive to show each character grow in their own way.

What advice would you give other writers?
Never give up.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
I had a literary agent for several year who was unsuccessful in the publication process, so I decided to release my novels through Amazon’s Kindle store last year. After learning how to market them, they were both top 100 bestsellers in several different fiction categories. It was incredible.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think indie ebook publishing is the wave of the future, and I’m happy that writers now have more control over their own publication and marketing process that we did years ago.

What do you use?
Professional Editor, Professional Cover Designer

What genres do you write?
Literary Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Young Adult, Chick Lit

What formats are your books in?
Both eBook and Print
