  1. Are you a Panster or Plotter?

Hardcore plotter. I write outlines, chapter-by-chapter breakdowns, and character charts before I write my first word. I’m a type-A personality. Plotting is the only way I can work.

  1. What advice would you give young writers looking to publish a book?

Read a lot. Join a writing group. Take courses and/or read books about the craft of writing. A few marketing courses would also help in the long run. Oh, and don’t allow yourself to make excuses. If you want this as a career, you have to dedicate yourself. It’s not easy.

  1. As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?

I don’t know if I have one specific animal, but I’m mildly obsessed with goats at the moment. There’s a twitter page dedicated to goats, and I check every day for a new video. If you ever see them walk, you’ll understand. They’re hilarious.

  1. What do your plans for future projects include?

The Mortal Enchantment Box Set releases on October 28th. I’m working on a new YA fantasy series. I’ve written the first book, but I need to work through the edits. I also have a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head. I need to outline them and figure out which one I’m going to write.

  1. Where can readers find you online?

Everywhere. http://staceyoneale.com/ is probably the easiest way to find me. I’m also active on social media. All of those links are on the top right corner of my website. I also have my own book group on Facebook called Book Slayers. We mostly discuss fantasy, paranormal, and science fiction books in both YA and adult. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bookslayers/
