Q: Hello there! I'm @theyoungwriter0415, the interviewer for Behind Every Book, and I'm here to conduct my interview. I hope that you are all ready for your interview! Is there any name you would like me to address you as?
A: Hiii sorry I didn't see this! You can call me Isla!!
Q: Nice to meet you, Isla!
Before we begin, would you mind sharing something about yourself? Perhaps your hobbies apart from writing?
A: I really enjoy reading and I do netball in school!
Q: Ooh, so you like reading? What are some of your favourite books?
A: Throne of Glass series is definitely my all time favourite! I also really like anything by Holly Bourne, as well as Tahereh Mafi!
Q: Throne of Glass? I think I've heard of that series before! Perhaps I should go read it.
Now, let's go on to writing! I can see then you've written quite a few books, which have gone really popular! Let's talk about your most popular book, silent. Could you share with us more about this book?
A: Yeah TOG is really popular on TikTok!
I first started writing Silent around October of last year and I wasn't even going to publish it at first due to discouragement with another book I had called Finding Adelina, which is no longer up.
I got inspiration from a girl who came into my school who used to be mute so I decided to use that as a major plot point in the story. It got a lot of reads quickly and I've made some of my closest friends from writing that story, from people who have reached out to me and I am eternally grateful to them!
Q: Woah, so you got an inspiration from a person? That sounds interesting!
Being mute doesn't really seem very easy to get around in life. The girl in your story must definitely have some character traits to help her overcome this challenge. Could you share with us some character traits or habits she has?
A: Due to her situation I'd describe her as very empathetic. Sometimes she struggles to be upset with people because many things have gone wrong in her life so it's just as possible that things could be going wrong in theirs. She is very understanding of that.
