Do you think writers need loads of confidence or a big ego to make it in this business?
I don’t think this is necessary. I think Passion and love is the only thing an author needs.
The last few years have seen a significant influx of books on the market. Competition is huge. Do you take the market into account when you write your stories, or is it all from your heart?
I write what I want. There’s no reason to be an author otherwise.
Not all of us are tuned into our emotions to the same degree. Do you think its possible for a writer who might be on the cooler side to write books that will touch a reader’s heart?
An author has to be able to connect emotionally with what they write. If not the reader will be able to tell. Our books are us and anything other than an emotional connection would be unauthentic.
I think, as writers, we can agree that the written word is a powerful thing. Stories can change the world. Is there an author that you think has actually harmed people with their writing?
Yes, misrepresentation of a group of people is damaging to the people being represented and to the people absorbing the information, fiction or not.
Do your books have a moral/message, or are they focused on entertainment only?
My stories always have some underlying message.

BIO:
My name is Alec Lee Williams, a trans #ownvoices artist. My pronouns are He/him/his. I have loved creating things ever since I can remember. My art is the visual and written expression of what is in my heart and mind. Show the world what social expectation and stigma it has created in regards to mental health. Mental illness and discrimination are a part of our history and it’s time the world sees it. The beautiful and the dirty.
With my art, I want to show those who don’t have mental illness what it’s like. I want those that do have a mental illness, specifically queer POC, to relate and maybe even letting go of their trauma and triggers by seeing it displayed. I want them to know they are not alone. Now that I have decided to pursue writing my novels I hope will do the same.
