Meet The Author: Author Nolan Holloway! ( Poetry)
Okay guys, this month let’s welcome a different kind of author who writes poetry. Ohhhhh! Let’s get to know Nolan’s style, and head over to Atlanta, USA.
Hello nice to meet you! Tell us a bit about you where are you from and other than writing what else do you enjoy?
I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I relocated to Atlanta in 1995. I enjoy watching sports, playing pool and going to the gym. I also enjoy service on Sundays and co-hosting the radio show Level Up.
How did you start writing? What was your inspiration to create?
I was dating a woman and wrote her a poem. She enjoyed it so I just started playing around with different types of poetry.
Kim> Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my!! That’s soooooooooo romantic. Man after my own heart. It’s great that it inspired you too.
Who is your favourite author, is there anyone out there that inspires you?
I don’t read as much as I want to but Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes and T.S. Eliot. Also read poets from various poetry sites.
What genre do you enjoy reading?
Weird, but I enjoy fantasy. Have read J.R. Tolkien and Stephen Donaldson. I also like horror. Steven King is my favourite.
Kim> Yeah, I haven’t read a book by King for a minute. I might need to during this ‘lock down’ we’ve got.
Have you ever thought about writing in a different genre? If you could what genre would you like to dabble in?
People have suggested that I try short stories, but I think poetry is my calling.
Kim> It’s always good to have a calling, but in all honesty I ‘dabbled’ in short stories and found out I really liked it, and enjoyed switching the genres of the stories I’d recommend it.
What has been your most proud moment as an author?
When I received my first set of copies of my first book from the publisher when my first grandchild was born.
Kim> *smiles uncontrollably*
Tell us about your online show Level Up? What is it all about?
Ordinary people with extraordinary stories. We discuss various topics with a Christian perspective.
What made you start Level Up?
I didn’t start the show. I was interviewed on the show twice. People kept saying I have a “radio” voice. The host asked if I would come on as a co-host.
Kim> Ohh how cool, if that’s the feedback maybe audio book narration could be good for you too. Just sayin’
How can readers connect with Level Up?
Two ways, sign into Mixx106radio.com and The Real Level Up on Facebook live
Was there ever a time you wanted to pick up your laptop, and then launch it out the window with frustration?
That has never happened. But I have dealt with writers block where sometimes the poetry stops. But then something happens, and they begin to flow again.
Are you a “plotter” or a fly by the seat of your pants “pants” as a writer?
The poems will come by verse or title and I just begin to write.
Kim> I’d call that a ‘panster’ writer , I think. No structure just go with the flow. I like it.
Am I the only one who gets hung up on commas? Do they make you go blah! when you’re writing?
I am liberal when I am writing. It for me depends on the flow and vibe.
Every writer has a word(s) that they always slip up on when they write, then slap their forehead when they notice their typo. For me it’s further and farther exit or exists- but hey I’m over it now. Do you have a word (s) that make you go blah! Go away not another damn typo.
Not really, just type too fast when my thoughts are racing.
Kim> Lolz
What three tips would you give any aspiring writer?
Find your voice and stick to it. Read other writing in various genres. Never give up.
What are you working on now? What will you release next?
Just writing now. Not sure. When the concept hits me, I will know when it is time.
So… where can we get your books?
Just enter the titles on Amazon.com or go to my website nolanphollowayjr.com
What does “success” look like to you? When would you say “damn, I’ve made it baby!”
It would be nice if I made a nice sum from my writing. But I want people to enjoy my work and give me feedback.
Kim> Consider doing some giveaways of your works, and gain some reviewers. I’d recommend it. Not only does it attract new readers, you can get reviews too. Reviews help sell books!
Does a big ego help or hurt writers?
You need to be humble. I think having a big ego is a determent.
Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?
Yes, I do, good ones I enjoy bad reviews fuel me.
Kim> Good approach with the less favourable ones.
Do you Google yourself?
No.
What other authors are you friends with, and how do they help you become a better writer?
Am part of author groups on Facebook, so quite a few. All different types of genres.
How long on average does it take you to write a book?
That varies. The first were within a year because I had some much poetry written.
What would you like readers to know?
That I am a man who writes poetry and have a passion for it and want to share the gift I have been blessed with everyone.
What’s your favourite movie?
The Passion of the Christ
What’s your favourite book and why?
Lord of the Rings. The world he creates was fantastic
What music do you like?
Funk and jazz. Also, into house.
Kim> I do love house too the soulful and uplifting kind.
Where would you like to travel to and why?
Enjoy the Caribbean but would like to travel to Europe.
Kim> When we leaving?
Thank you so much Nolan for spending time with us today! It was great to get to know you, and I hope readers will check out your work and Level Up. Connect with Nolan here nolanphollowayjr.com and Level Up talk show here Mixx106radio.com

Writing Prompt: Local Flavour
Write a piece about a typically “local” experience from where you come from, as though it’s an entry for a travel guide”
Brilliant writing prompt under today’s date in my book, I’ve never tried my hand at travel writing…so here goes! London, like the rest of the world is on some form of lock-down, due to the Coronvirus outbreak. I too am at home and have been for eight days! Let’s pass sometime with today’s writing prompt and see if I can ‘sell’ my city as if I were a travel guide writer!
London…
London is the capital of the United Kingdom, and one of the most diverse cities of the world. The city is located in the southern part of the United Kingdom, and has a population of 8.9 million( as of 2018)
The capital of the United Kingdom attracts many visitors and tourists each year, to date 39.7 million visits have been recorded to the ‘city that never sleeps’ at the time of this article. The diversity of London is great, and that’s what gives it the reputation of being one of the most welcoming, tolerant and culturally richest part of the United Kingdom.
There is plenty to see and do in this part of the country, the city is divided up into what’s known as ‘post codes’, similar to the zip codes of the USA and other parts of the world. The River Thames run’s directly through the city, and is what divides the capital up between north and south.
What is there to see and do?
Central London- ‘The West End’
This part of the capital is as the name describes, the most central part of the city. It is the financial hub of the country. London’s economy is based largely in the central part of London. Here you will find the famous landmarks such as Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street and Soho. As well as many of the other well known ‘tourist attractions’ of the city.
The centre of London, or London’s ‘West End’ is a most see! And the ultimate starting point of any visitor to the wonderful and vibrant city. Tube lines ( subways) are easy to access and navigate around the capital. In addition, there are many bus routes, overhead trains and even local bike ride schemes to travel around the city.
London operates on a strictly no cash system on transport services, therefore you will need to obtain one of London’s Oyster Cards ( a travel card) and ‘top it up’ with money to pay for travel before hand. Or you can use your debit or credit card by touching in onto the screens, when you board any form of transport.
In central London, you will also find many theaters, restaurants bars, clubs and night life! In fact, London’s night light is highly sort after as an experience, and comparable to big cities such as Miami, Amsterdam, New York and Paris! But London is the place to be.
Museum’s Parks and Attractions
The London Eye is London’s main attraction, located along Westminster Bridge, and a stone’s throw from the iconic Big Ben Clock, that London is recognised by. Here, visitors to the capital can experience panoramic views across London, from the height of the ride’s wheel. The ride itself is a large Ferris wheel, that moves at a smooth and comfortable speed allowing visitors to see the north, east, south and west of London. while located in the centre of London! Don’t miss this attraction. The nearest tube stations are Lambeth North, and Westminister Bridge. Tickets must be purchased beforehand, arrive early to avoid queues.
London also has many picturesque parks such as Clapham Common ( south London), Richmond Park ( south London), Victoria Park (east London), Hamstead Heath ( north London) as well as parks in the city centre, located near the residence of the royal family.
In the city centre, there are also museums for those who which to soak up the culture! Such as The National Gallery, along London’s South Bank you will also find The London South Bank Museum here. Nearest stations are Trafalgar Square and Elephant and Castle which which are both walking distance.
Urban Life in London
London, would not be complete with out the underworld of ‘urban life’. Those who wish to experience the true unique, diverse and alternate culture of London, should head out the the tourist areas and visit Camden Town’s Market. Camden Town is a funky, diverse and cool part of London, not to be missed. Shops, restaurants, bars, and tattoo and alternate body art shops are all to be discovered. Nearest tube station is Camden Town.
Brixton Market located in the south London is a must see, and a very vibrant area to experience, where all races mingle and mix enjoying the ambiance of this part of the city. Nearest tube station is Brixton.
The August carnival to celebrate Afro-Caribbean culture in the capital, takes place on the Bank Holiday in August, at the end of the summer each year! This is one big street party, where there’s food, music, drinking and dancing along the streets of west London all Caribbean style. Don’t miss this iconic event, that has been part of London’s history since the large influx of Caribbeans who settled in the UK with the Windrush Era.
Safety While Traveling
London generally is a pretty safe place to explore, safety should be taken with valuables as with any large city in the world, opportunists will strike and pick pocket if tourists are no alert ,and protective of possessions. Female travelers should feel safe, but should also take care and guard general safety.
Overall, London is a great city! Home to many people from all over the world. Racism is not a big thing in this part of the country, compared to other parts. As the population is diverse and it is in this part of the UK, as with other large cities such as Birmingham and Manchester and Liverpool, that you will find the highest population of immigrants, as well as inhabitants that fall into the Black-British, or Asian-British, and Non-White category.
Visit London today! The best times of year are during the spring and summer months typically from March- August.
How about it guys?? Who’s coming to London ( after the travel ban is lifted LOL), have I sold my part of the world to you?? Let’s see your travel guide pieces on where you’re from. Drop your links below I’d love to read them!!
