00:00Okay Yusuf, so you're 11 years old and you've written your first book which has been published, that's incredible.
00:06Thank you.
00:07How does that feel?
00:08I feel great about it and I think people will get inspired about it to write books like me.
00:15Absolutely, absolutely. What have your friends said about you writing your first book?
00:19They really like it and they said that they want to buy a copy and they want to sign it and everything.
00:24Oh brilliant, so you're quite the celebrity now at school.
00:27Yeah.
00:27That's incredible. Have they read it yet? Have some of your friends read it yet?
00:30Yeah.
00:31Have they and what have they said about the book?
00:32They said it's nice and they said they want me to write more.
00:35Excellent, excellent. And do you think you'll write another book?
00:38Yeah, probably, yes.
00:40Yeah, goodness me. So do you reckon you're going to be the next David Walliams, something like that?
00:45Maybe.
00:48What have your family said about it? I bet they're proud on that.
00:51Yeah, they'll be very proud.
00:53Yeah, wonderful.
00:54They spent a lot on it so they should be very proud.
00:58Yeah, yeah. And how long did it take you to write?
01:01Six months.
01:02Wow, yeah. But you enjoyed it, did you?
01:05Yeah, excellent.
01:07So if you do write another one, what do you think the subject's going to be?
01:11Maybe the same or maybe something completely different.
01:15So what's this one about?
01:17This one is history fiction and there's about three empires who fight a Mongolian empire
01:24and they try to fight back and they make alliances with each other.
01:29Wow. And where did you get the inspiration for that?
01:32Just many different authors. I think I kept on reading books so I just wanted to write a book.
01:39It just popped in my mind. I was like, okay, I'll do it.
01:42Well done. Well, it's a great achievement and well done.
01:45And I look forward to seeing you again when you write the next one.
