A word with a famous author with meteoric rises,
Hearing about the other award our former guest, Brenda Mohammed added to her bag I have emailed her about her feelings and new developments.
Herald:- You are achieving success after success. How do you describe your feelings?
Brenda:- Alem, While I feel elated with each success, I am still the same simple Brenda, who enjoys the simple things in life. I can only say that these successes motivate me to write more. To date, I have written 27 books and ten of them are bestsellers.
Herald:- Could you tell us the secret behind your success?
Brenda:- Alem, there is no secret to success.
Many people have asked me this question and my answer has always been to keep focused in whatever you do, remain persistent, and never give up.
Herald:- What do you advise aspiring writers who dream to follow in your footsteps?
Brenda:- I advise them to read my book, ‘How to Write for Success.’
The five- star reviews I received for that book are many.
In that book, I have stated in every chapter, how to be a successful writer.
Many who have read it have benefited and are successful writers today.
Herald:- In the post-Covid-19 era, the order of things has changed. The same is true of authorship and readership. What can you say about this? How do you see books as a favorite pastime?
Brenda:- Yes. Life has changed. Many are turning to Literature because it has remained constant.
I see an increase in writers and readers in the Literary forums, Motivational Strips, the world’s most active writers’ forum, which now has 7.3 million visitors a month and writers from 163 countries.
Shiju H Pallithazheth is the Founder of Motivational Strips and I am Regional Director – Operations.
As the Founder of How to Write for Success Literary forum, I have also seen a large increase in membership.
Herald:- Given your meteoric rise in the field of literature shall we expect a Noble prize?
Brenda: Alem, I have not yet dreamt of such an achievement, but I leave that one for the Almighty if he so wills it.
