Interview with Author Jill Knapp


Tell us about yourself? I am a coffee and ice cream obsessed, writer who loved dogs and the beach 

What inspired you to write What Happens To Men When They Move To Manhattan? I wanted to write a story that reflected the way I felt while living in New York. I wanted to write something with a realistic ending and create a series of characters that people would end up loving.

What book are you reading now or the last book you've read? I just finished reading The Selection by Kiera Cass and it was absolutely fantastic. I already ordered the next two!

What do you feel is the hardest part about writing? Being sure that what you wrote isn’t terrible. It’s a constant battle between thinking you wrote something amazing and though provoking one minute, and then looking at it and thinking it’s terrible the next.

Who is your favorite character from your book and why? Amalia is my favorite character. She is so full of life. She’s a loveable mess who although makes a lot of mistakes, she has a good heart.

What is the most rewarding experience you've had since being signed by Harper Impulse? My cover reveal. It was when it all started to feel real. I am absolutely in love with my new cover.

Favorite song right now? Long Live, by Taylor Swift

Are there any upcoming projects that you'd like to tell us about? I just finished my first draft of the second installment in the “What Happens To Men?..” series. That will most likely be available this fall.

Is there a question you wish interviewers would ask and the answer to that question? Or if you'd like to, share a fun fact about yourself? I wish people would ask about my dogs more because they just mean the world to me! I have a Pekingese named Brownie and a Japanese Chin named Cupcake.
