Interview With Nikki Luongo

Confessions of a Mafia Princess

What inspired you to write?

I wanted to share my story of growing up, in a world that doesn’t celebrate those of us who aren’t built like a Karadashian, for those girls who are different and want to be heard but usually aren’t.

How long have you been writing?

About five years

What advice would you give a new writers?

Don’t ever stop writing, it’s a frustrating process but so rewarding and don't ever let anyone take away your momentum.

How did you settle on the title of “Confessions of a Mafia Princess”?

Because I was like one of few Italian kids in my school, they automatically assumed my family was in the mob and so my friends started calling me Mafia Princess, heir to a non existent mafia throne
