Some writers and authors have a knack for using language that can really move people. Some writers and authors have been able to influence millions with their words alone. What does it take to become an effective and successful author or writer? In this interview series, called “5 Things You Need To Be A Successful Author or Writer” we are talking to successful authors and writers who can share lessons from their experiences.

As a part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Emil Rem.

Emil Rem, an eccentric accountant becomes a writer of eccentric characters, in exotic locales — each story taking us on a trip into his fascinating twisted world. Born to a close knit, middle class Muslim East Indian family in Dar-es-Salam, Africa in the 50’s, he is then moved to Maidenhead England at the age of five. The next twenty years are spent shuttling between England and East Africa. Moving to Canada, marrying a woman from the Philippines, and having two boys only adds further texture to his stories.
