Featured Interview With Morgan DeVivo
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m a 15-year-old author with a love for writing and all things artistic. Born and raised in Florida, I enjoy swimming in the pool and drinking lemonade year-round. My hobbies include scrapbooking, editing, and occasionally painting. I published my first book, 40 Days, in 2023, and I am currently working on a fantasy novel that I hope to finish by the end of this year. I strive to find the beauty in the world and inspire others with my art.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I realized my fascination with books almost from the moment I was born. By the age of two, I already had an interest in “reading” and would often flip through children’s stories and novels. With the help of my mom, who typed out my ideas on her computer, I made my own “books.” By the age of four, I could read, and by six, I started writing in journals. The next year, I begged my parents for a laptop, which I finally received that Christmas. With new technology in my possession, I taught myself the ropes of Word Document, and my stories flourished. I went on to self-publish my first book, Rosey Redberry and the Magic Carpets, in second grade and Don’t Mess With Magic in fourth grade. Finally, in eighth grade, I decided to turn my dream into reality and write a full-length novel.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I find inspiration from many different authors and stories. If I had to pick just one, I couldn’t be sure, although my mom has been a huge inspiration to me personally. My favorite genre to read is fantasy, but sci-fi is a close second. I also enjoy realistic fiction.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
40 Days is a thrilling YA sci-fi novel for fans of Severance and Lost. It centers around 17-year-old Stella Winterfield, who finds herself in a strange science facility after an explosion at the mall. In her new environment, she struggles to remember details about herself and must uncover the mysteries of the facility before it is too late.
