An Interview With Author S.A. Conley (Carletta)

Daviess County Public Library

Sarah discusses writing with Owensboro-based author S.A. Conley. Author bio: "S. A. Conley began to write Carletta when she was 15 years old. The idea for the story hit her when her younger sister was having issues learning how to read. S. A. Conley thought that if she wrote a story, and her sister wrote a story, maybe her sister would learn to read and write better. It worked, and from that idea Carletta was created. At WKU, S.A. Conley majored in creative writing so she could edit Carletta and get her ready for publication. In September of 2018, Carletta was published in both print and ebook editions. S.A. Conley has done several book signings and talks with young readers and writers since Carletta’s publication. S.A. Conley is currently working on a sequel to Carletta, which is a 4-part young adult fantasy series. She currently resides in Owensboro. When she is not at home writing, she is answering calls in the 911 dispatch center, traveling with her husband, or doing activities with one of her four children. S.A. Conley has a Facebook and Instagram that readers and young writers can use to ask her questions and learn more about the book series."
