How do you pronounce your last name?
Powars as in: “My friends are my power!”
Page is your real name?
Page is my real name. No, I never changed my name nor renamed myself after a page in a book. I’m cringe but not that cringe.
What is your AO3 account?
Papergowas.
Where do I send you fan mail/messages?
I unfortunately do not read or reply to DMs. Please visit my contact page for more information on how to contact via my agency instead.
Will And They Were Roommates be sold in my country or translated into my language?
I hope! So far, my books have sold in English to publishers who directly cover the US, UK/AUS/NZ, and Canada—these extend into other countries too, especially the EU. No matter what, you can order my English books internationally through Blackwell’s (which sells out often; sign up to get notified of new stock).
Translations for And They Were Roommates coming soon:
French
Spanish
German
More TBA. Follow me on Instagram or sign up for my newsletter to receive updates.
What are you writing now?
I’m working on my third young adult rom-com, But I Hate Him! This will be on shelves in 2026.
I’m also working on other exciting projects I unfortunately can’t share yet. These will release in 2027 and 2028. I’ll do my best to keep improving! Thank you, as always, for being interested!
Do you have playlists for your books?
Yes!
Are you available to speak at my school, library, or book club?
Absolutely! You can go to my contact page, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Are your novels standalones or series?
Standalones, but my books do all take place on the same planet—ours!—so my different characters can certainly run into each other. If you keep your eyes peeled, you may see some crossed paths.
What are your favorite books?
Here is my list on Bookshop.
Do you have any advice for those who want to write?
As long as you read and study books in your genre, I strongly believe you don’t need an English or Creative Writing degree to be an author. I have never taken a writing class outside of high school. I could never. Short stories? I would suck. I suggest looking to other art forms for inspiration outside of books as well. Although video games were my main inspiration growing up, comedians are my go-to nowadays. My favorite comedy-focused artists are Nathan Fielder, Caleb Hearon, Drew Gooden, Gaku Kuze, John Oliver, Chris Fleming, Josh Sharp, Drew Afualo, and every writer of Arrested Development.
Why are you a writer?
I worked at GameStop for one day, the 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. shift at a bubble tea café for a few months, an unfortunate Fox News-themed ice cream shop during a summer vacation, an education business in Japan and Korea for four years, a translator for anime and video game original soundtracks for half of my life, and the New York Public Library for one week until I got yelled at and I quit on the spot. I couch surfed for even longer. Do weird things. They make great stories.
But, like, what are you?
