BK Greenwood On The 5 Things You Need to Know to Become a Great Author

Engage people. I like to do a lot of signings. It’s a great way to meet people and share your story. Listen to them when they tell their stories. You will learn a lot. Encourage people that love to write. It’s not a competition, we can all do well. Plenty of readers out there!

As part of my interview series on the five things you need to know to become a great author, I had the pleasure of interviewing BK Greenwood. BK Greenwood’s love for reading began at a young age. His family moved around quite a bit and he turned to reading as a coping mechanism to navigate through the inconsistencies of attending seven different elementary schools in both his home state of New Hampshire and relocating to Arizona at age 9. Methodical in his reading approach, his formative years prior to middle school found his interests veering more towards non-fiction immersing himself in geography, history, and zoology with a pivot to fiction as a teenager after discovering the Tarzan of the Apes series. Fast forward to his late twenties and his interests in both genres merged and began to translate into writing of his own.
