Hi De'Lana,
First off, I think it's great that you're connecting the question of who our favorite authors are with becoming a writer yourself. After all, one of the best ways to become a better writer (besides writing, of course!) is to read, read, read! I like different authors for different moods, but three of my favorite are Brandon Sanderson for my nerdy moods, Malcom Gladwell when I feel like I want to find a new way of looking at things, and Terry Pratchett when I want to indulge in some silliness.
Thanks for the great question!

My favorite author is Stephen king or R.L Stine.
Thank you for you comment. These are some of my favorite authors also. But I love Edgar Allen Poe for poetry.

Hi De'Lana,
Wow, favorite author is tricky question. I think that the genre matters a great deal to your question. For fiction, I love Nora Roberts and James Patterson. I love to read biographies as well so Water Isaacson is good there. I also like Malcolm Gladwell for non-fiction. These are just the ones that come to mind in the moment. I make sure to read at least 100 books a year just to be exposed to as many people as possible.
By the way, I think that you can be a writer no matter what career you choose. It can be done with anything else. If you want to be a writer, I think that the most important thing is to write, even if it is just for yourself. Make sure to journal to just have a daily practice. In addition, make sure that you are sharing your writing in order to get feedback and constantly be improving.
