Just Make Him Beautiful by Mike Warren

Intimate Conversation with Mike Warren
 

BPM: Tell us a little about yourself.  Do you have anyone in your life that was heavily influential in your deciding to become an author?
OK Ella, my name is Mike Warren and I’m the author of  “A Private Affair,”  “Sweet Swagger,”  Sir, Yes Sir.” and my latest release, “Just Make Him Beautiful.”  I have been writing professionally for the last 6 years and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Telecommunication from Morgan State University and a Masters Degree in Communications from Towson State. I am fortunate to be in a dedicated relationship and a proud father and I still live in Baltimore, Maryland.

Mike Warren: When I began writing my first book, “A Private Affair” the only writer I knew was a young black author by the name of Shelton Jackson. He past away a few years ago but he was the one who gave me the incentive to write a novel.

BPM:  How did you initially break into the publishing industry?
Mike Warren: Wow, I was over a friends’ house and one of their friends came over and I was of course talking about my manuscript and they said that their cousin had just publish a book. Long story short, he put me in contact with his cousin and the rest is history as they say… Definitely, being in the right place at the right time

BPM:  What is your definition of success?
Mike Warren: My definition of success is the readers as well as other writers that have acknowledged and enjoy your work.

BPM:  What have you realized about yourself since becoming a published author?
Mike Warren: What I’ve realized about myself as a published author is that I turned myself on about the things I write about.  LOL

BPM:  What are some of the benefits of being an author that makes it all worthwhile?
Mike Warren: I would love to say it’s the money and the attention but it’s not. Some of the benefits that makes it worth while is when I get that email from a young person who might be struggling with their sexuality and they tell me how much they have learned about themselves while reading my books. Another benefit is when I get a call from a soldier whose been in Iraq or Afghanistan and they let me know that I’ve just told their story and how much my novel took their mind off the war and being away from home.

BPM:  Do you have any advice for people seeking to publish a book?
Mike Warren: My advice would be to check the book stores and look at some of the books that are in your same genre and look in those books and find the publishers website. Go to those websites and check to see if they accept unsolicited manuscripts? If they do, check and see how they prefer their submissions and send yours to them.
