Interview with Author – Boshra Rasti

By Book Goodies Leave a Comment


About Boshra Rasti:
Boshra Rasti was raised in British Columbia, Canada and works as an expatriate teacher in Qatar. She received a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at Royal Roads University, which proved a fateful blow to her belief in anything hierarchical. However, it did spark her desire to flee from the real world and start writing about other ones. When she is not working to earn a living, she enjoys the escape that reading and writing lend her. She also enjoys physical running, even if it is of the sadistic variety in Qatar.

What inspires you to write?
Humans are storytellers. The whole reason we have a frontal cortex that is so developed is probably due to story and imagining the light in times of darkness. I really believe without story; we’d be the most debased form of dust and clay that has ever been envisioned or invented.

What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Any former Soviet-block dystopian writer. They are just the bees-knees!

Tell us about your writing process.
When it comes to poetry and short stories, I am a pantser. I am old school in that I write everything out in my messy, constantly changing, cursive. Then, I read the poem or story to myself and if it doesn’t sound true, I rip it up and throw it away. If it feels right, I type it out.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
In my mind I do. Heck, maybe I even do in real life. My poor dog must think I am coo-coo.

What advice would you give other writers?
Goals, Motivations, Conflicts. Every character, every scene, needs to expound on these three things. Otherwise, you have a one-dimensional character going through a story with no backbone.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
I sort of fell into it. It was a New-Years resolution.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I am worried about it to be honest. I think younger generations are losing their sense of focus. Although I like social media, I think it's becoming a bit too invasive.

What genres do you write?: Dystopian YA

What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print
