Meet the Author: 

Alvita is a lover of writing, a teacher, and most importantly, a mom. Writing has always provided a creative outlet for which she finds sensible solutions. Having a son with developmental delays was very challenging for her. However, she used books and original stories to help him overcome the obstacles he faced at an early age. Alvita believes that the imagination is truly a key that unlocks the doors to an endless journey.
Alvita was kind enough to answer some questions for us, so here’s a bit more information about her…

 

Do you have another profession besides writing?  I am actually a full-time teacher in New York City.

How long have you been writing?  I have been writing since I was a little girl but I started seriously writing ten years ago.

Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?  I get writer’s block from time to time but when that happens, I take a break and I work on something else or do something that has nothing to do with writing, so I can clear my mind and relax.

What is your next project?  I am actually working on a book that features a little girl and her dreams. I am all about girl power. I think girls and women are phenomenal and we can do anything we out our minds to, so I wanted to have something for young girls to relate to and be inspired by.

What genre do you write and why?  I like right fiction because it allows me to explore my imagination.  A fun fact is started off with writing poetry in school because I was inspired my Langston Hughes. His words gave me comfort and I wanted to do that, but somehow I began creating full lengths stories in my head, so I ran with the idea.

What is the last great book you’ve read? The last great book I ever read was TRUST by Iyanla Vanzant
