1. To readers of the blog who may not be familiar with you or your writing, can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got into writing.
   My name is Amelia Mandeville, I have a Youtube channel with my sisters ‘Mandeville Sisters’. I’m
   21, and I love dipping into the fictional world. I just got into this, by writing, and writing until I
   finally got there. Not giving up was the key!
2. Can you tell us a bit about your upcoming book, ‘Every Colour of You’.
   ‘Every Colour of You’, is a book of many different emotions, following the journey of Tristan and Zoe, and their very unlikely friendship. It’s a book to make you hopefully laugh and cry, break your heart, and mend it at the same time.
3. If you were to start your own book club, what authors would you ask to join?
   Ooooh. Rainbow Rowell. Patrick Ness, and Veronica Roth.
4. Is there anything that you would change about your writing journey?
   I wish my writing wasn’t so dependent on my mood.
5. Who’s your favourite literary heroine or heroine?
   I always loved ‘Maximum Ride’.
6. What’s your favourite opening line from a book?
   You know what, I don’t have one!
7. What’s your favourite book of all time?
   Hmmm, that’s too hard to choose. I have so many favourites, ‘Eleanor and Park’, ‘Chaos Walking ‘series, ‘Maximum Ride’ and so many more.

8. Why did you decide to write female fiction?
   I’ve actually wrote YA, and zombie novels before this, so I guess it just depends on the story I’m creating.
9. If you were stranded on a desert island, which three books would you bring with you to pass the time?
   Oooooh, it’d be the three I answered for my favourite book.
10. What area do you suggest a budding writer should concentrate on to further their abilities?
    The motivation and self believe. Definitely. Just keep writing and encouraging yourself because it’s hard to believe in yourself. I nearly gave up lots of times.
11. When sitting down to write, what is the one item you need beside you?
    Can music count? I always have to listen to music, but a good cuppa is helpful too!
12. And finally, do you have any projects or releases on the horizon which you would like to share with the readers of the website.
    I am working on my second book at the moment, which is all pretty secret…and still busy with my Youtube channel www.youtube.com/mandevillesisters. Thanks so much for having me 🙂
