We had the good fortune of connecting with Author Mara Prose and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Author Mara, why did you pursue a creative career?
Artistry and creativity aren’t just paths I’ve chosen; they’re the essence of my existence. In a world filled with monotony, I’ve always been drawn to the allure of weaving tales that ignite imagination and spark wonder. For me, the pursuit of a creative career isn’t just about livelihood; it’s about embracing the vibrant tapestry of life and sharing its beauty with the world.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Step into the world of Mara Prose Publishing, where creativity knows no bounds and excellence is the norm. What sets us apart? It’s our unwavering commitment to personalized consultation, empowering authors to navigate the self-publishing journey with confidence. From platform selection to distribution strategies, we’re here every step of the way.

Pride? Excitement? Oh, there’s plenty! But it’s the journey that truly resonates. It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but every challenge became a stepping stone, fueling our determination to succeed. Lessons learned? Too many to count, but resilience, adaptability, and the power of collaboration stand out.

What do I want the world to know? Mara Prose Publishing isn’t just about books; it’s about empowerment, creativity, and making dreams a reality. Our story is one of passion, perseverance, and the belief that anything is possible. And we’re just getting started.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Ah, Houston – a city bursting with flavor, culture, and endless possibilities! For an unforgettable week-long adventure, I’d start with a culinary tour, indulging in Tex-Mex delights at El Tiempo Cantina or experiencing the vibrant flavors of Asia at Uchi Houston.

To immerse ourselves in the arts, a visit to the Museum District is a must, with stops at the Museum of Fine Arts and the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. For a taste of local history, a stroll through The Heights or a visit to the Buffalo Bayou Park offers picturesque views and hidden gems.

As the sun sets, we’d head to the lively nightlife scene of Midtown, enjoying craft cocktails at Anvil Bar & Refuge or catching live music at Axelrad Beer Garden. And of course, no visit to Houston is complete without a trip to Space Center Houston, where we’d marvel at the wonders of space exploration.

With its diverse offerings and warm hospitality, Houston never fails to captivate and inspire. Cheers to making memories in the heart of Texas!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A heartfelt shoutout to my incredible friends Rinetia Turner, Connie Rodriguez, and Rosalyn Young! Their unwavering support, encouragement, and prayers lifted me up during some of my toughest moments and helped me spread my wings as a writer. They’ve been there through thick and thin, always believing in me and cheering me on. I’m endlessly grateful for their friendship and the invaluable role they’ve played in my journey. Here’s to the power of friendship and the beautiful souls who light our paths!
