Mariia Manko asked Tracey Garvis Graves:

Tracey, when did you realize yourself as a writer? After writing first book, publishing , success or …? You know this feeling inside «I am truly a writer»

Tracey Garvis Graves Hi, Mariia!

I first realized myself as a writer when I completed the manuscript for On the Island. Once it was revised, edited, and polished, I felt like I could call myself a writer. I had written a novel which was the goal I'd hoped to accomplish. This feeling was enhanced when I published the book, and it was reinforced when readers started recommending the title to others. It's a mindset that continues to grow with each of my published novels and the support I receive from my readers.

Best,

Tracey
