***Interview with Fattkay Faturoti Kayode***

• When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

• It all started when I started blogging, some 5years ago. When people would commend my writing skills and I would say to myself “Maybe I can write afterall”.

• How long does it take you to write a book?

• The answer is relative. Not specific. It depends on how much information I plan to include and how dedicated I am to the project. On a general note, it doesn’t take more than a month.

• What is your work schedule like when you're writing?

• I only write when I’m in the mood to, so I never felt it affecting my schedule.

• What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?

• I have my own personal writing style. I always spice my writeups with comic reliefs in order not to make it sound too serious and at the same time carry the readers along and make them feel comfortable.

• Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?

• Often times, I write from experience and knowledge so I can say I mostly write straight from the head. Other times, I just get ideas online.

• What do you like to do when you're not writing?

• I use social media.

• What does your family think of your writing?

• Nothing serious, nothing spectacular.

• What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

• I realized it’s actually easier than it looks.

• How many books have you written? Which is your favourite?

• I have written 5 so far and the last one, social media marketing on Fiverr is my favorite.

• Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

• Yes I do get testimonials from readers claiming my books help them, which is quite expected.
