What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Erica Graham Just write. You will have good ideas and some not so good ideas. Write, then get multiple people to read your work and provide honest feedback before publishing. If you decide to self publish, hire an editor. Above all else, enjoy what you do. When you have fun writing, the readers will have fun reading.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

In addition to promoting speech development, I hope that above all else, these books provide children and their caregivers an opportunity to spend time together and enjoy reading.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Erica Graham Walk away and do something fun. The more I sit and try to struggle through a writer's block, the more difficult and frustrating it becomes. When I step away and find something that completely takes my mind off writing, it helps me to clear my head. The best ideas tend to come when I am not thinking about writing.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Erica Graham Each of my books have been inspired by everyday events in my life. Ideas often arise during the least expected times such as playing with my kids, driving, or even doing work around the house.
