Boston Teran Gives a Rare Interview to Writer's Digest

Writer's Digest

Our client Boston Teran does not give interviews often. By design, he sits down with one outlet per book release, which made it a real get when Jess Farris of Writer's Digest landed the conversation around his eleventh novel, A Child Went Forth, an epic set in 1851 that borrows its title from a Walt Whitman poem. You can read the full interview on Writer's Digest for the complete conversation.

Teran has published more than a dozen novels since 1999 without ever confirming his real identity, and he has said that keeping that low profile took real, deliberate effort rather than happening on its own. Two of his books have already made the jump to film, including God Is a Bullet, and Teran speaks candidly about how unpredictable that process can be for a novelist watching someone else adapt the work.

Securing the single interview a notoriously private author agrees to per book is exactly the kind of placement our press campaigns are built around: knowing which outlet, and which writer, will get the story an author is actually willing to tell.

There is something fitting about an author this private choosing to speak so openly about the craft itself, about writing across genres, chasing inspiration he cannot fully explain, and living with a career whose real verdict will not be handed down for a long time to come.
