Advice for Non-Native English Writers Just Starting Out
Everyone has to do the jobs they don’t like so that they can do what they truly love.
Last month, Zean Vo, the editor of TheFace Magazine Vietnam reached out to me and asked if I would like to give an interview on my writing journey.
I have followed Zean’s work for a while after she stumbled upon my book and we connected last year. So it didn’t take me long to say yes to Zean’s invitation, especially since it would give me an opportunity to connect with Vietnamese audiences.
Her team sent me a set of questions and turned my answers into a beautifully written story. I must admit that it’s a bit strange to read about myself in third-person, though I definitely enjoyed the experience.
I’ve translated it into English to share with you all. I hope it’ll be inspiring to any non-native English writer just starting out.
