Questions and answers

Q. How long have you been writing?

A. Five foot eleven, and twelve and a half years on thirty one books. Thirty books of poetry and one sci-fi comedy book called Space 2047.

Q. What does your business consist of?

A. Writing, fictional books, and I have begun work on a travel book in the United Kingdom. Also my business consists of creating music products with AI and my lyrics. Painting.

Q. What is the current state of the business?

A. Quite frankly, two to three solid years of work is needed to rescue the business after a period of over two years of mental and physical burn out. I am confident in 2026 things will start getting back on track and business will improve. I have no other plans but to work on the business solidly for the next three years. If an offer comes in by email or by post to collaborate on other projects and there is decent money involved then the only work I will be doing will be on the business. Any sales are sincerely appreciated.

Q. What is your working process?

A. When working in my office, I contemplate, cogitate, ruminate over my thoughts and ideas, talk out loud sometimes and bounce ideas around, analyse things, and the analytical process can be very repetitive and it would bore most people to death.

The majority of stuff that I have been working on in the office is not meant for public consumption yet, as a huge amount of it is intended for the support network for the human race project, and is meant to be kept in the office until the time is ready for it to be released on the website. Some of which has been emailed to 197 Presidents and Prime ministers already.

Q. Do you enjoy collaborating?

A. People have been so kind and supportive of my work and have invested huge amounts of hours helping me promote it and I needed a better way of doing things with less confusion between colleagues with regards to working in general and on the support network for the human race. I have decided to figure out a better way of working and collaborating with the kind people who have supported me and others who may wish to collaborate on the support network for the human race.

Q. What do you think about sharing your work in public for the first time?

A. Fantastic, especially after all that hard work and effort. People are most welcome to comment on my posts, pages, books, articles (when there are some.) It took ten years to write thirty one books.

If people wish to do so, if my colleagues that I have collaborated with so far wish to, what things are they welcome to promote in public with regards to the support network, the solution to homelessness is welcome to be promoted in public. The work on tackling the worlds major problems is complete, but the work and articles are not ready for public distribution or sharing at this moment in time, until the support network for the human race is fully functional.

Q. So do you enjoy collaborating?

A. Yes, immensely. Writing at times can be a very solitary experience.

Q. What are your favourite books that you have written?

A. Alas the day, Cold day in October, my poetry books and also Space 2047, my sci-fi comedy book.

Q. Have you had much interest in your work?

A. Yes. I have been blessed with a huge amount of support and encouragement in Great Britain and internationally. The M.O.D and the RAF kindly gave me an incredible amount of support and help with the promotion, during the early stages of the business and the promotion for which I am eternally greatful. Lots of other kind people have shown me an incredible amount of support of work and ideas, including where I live. Working with people again after such a long period of writing has been a wonderful experience. It was great collaborating and having a platform to promote positive ideas like the solution to homelessness that we promoted together. Writing can be a very solitary experience at times.

Q. Are you looking for brand collaborations and sponsorships?

A. Yes. Any brand collaborations and sponsorships would be fantastic, as I wish to grow my business and promote my writing more effectively. Please kindly contact me via my business email below. Thank you.

Q. Why do you spend so much time in the office?

A. During the first five years of business, things have been a struggle, even with the most brilliant support and encouragement. Starting the business during COVID was not the greatest of ideas, but I am glad I started it because I love the creativity and the process of writing and being a writer. It is cost effective to work in the office, it is not currently cost effective to work in internet cafes, in pubs, and renting another office would cost a lot more money. My office is in my flat, which is in the middle of two car parks, and overlooks a community hall with regular events happening there, so there is a regular amount of noise from constant traffic and it is not an ideal location to work. Hopefully when things improve financially I will be able to afford to rent an office, that is quieter. I need a quieter office to be able to record audio books and create and edit video content.

Q. Don’t you want to be socialise?

A. Yes. I would love to be sociable much more often. The first five years of business took a lot of dedication and hard work on the work front. Recovering from a period of mental and physical burn out took much longer than expected. I then developed deep vein thrombosis, which I am still recovering from. In total I have spent about twelve and a half years writing and creating ideas.

Q. What was mental and physical burn out like?

A. Very difficult. I could not think straight, my brain was overloaded, I could not organise properly as I was so tired that I could not concentrate. I was totally exhausted, and barely able to function workwise and I had no energy to get out and do things. It was very difficult. Kind people had used their own staff and resources to promote my work and have been incredibly encouraging, and unfortunately I was too exhausted to achieve a great deal for a few years. Dealing with mental and physical burn out was not my strong point. I am trying to figure out better ways of doing things to prevent mental and physical burn out happening again.

Q. What did you do during mental and physical burn out?

A. The business was not doing very well, so I had to rethink and reorganise the business. I Promoted mostly online as there was not a great budget for it. The limited budget was why I so greatly appreciated support from the M.O.D and the RAF.

Q. Would you like to become a travel writer?

A. Yes, the world is a beautiful place. As soon as I recover from deep vein thrombosis I would especially love to visit Los Angeles and the USA, Tokyo, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, South America and the world in general and write travel books and travel articles.

Q. Where can we buy your books?

A. All of my books can be bought on Amazon, other books can be bought via, Waterstones, Foyles and more.

Q. Are you going to release audio book versions of your books?

A. Yes, I hope to get them all recorded over the next year or so.

Q. How many hours did it take to write thirty one books?

A. 40,000+ hours went into writing thirty one books.

Q. How long have you been running a business?

A. Five years.

Q. Are you selling lots of books and products?

A. No. Amazon is a very competitive market place, and the marketing budget is limited. I was given the most wonderful support, but books are luxury items. Currently the products sales are slow, but I am working harder after two years plus of mental and physical burnout and I am trying to turn things around.

Q. Do you have a literary agent?

A. I currently do not have a literary agent, but I am looking for one. If you are interested in representing me, please kindly bar@benjaminarthurrobinsonauthor.com. Thank you.

Q. Is it stressful being a writer?

A. Yes, and it is the same for everyone. Life is stressful for most people these days, and especially running a business, but to be able to do something you truly love and enjoy is a wonderful thing. I have received some incredible support. People have taken a great deal of interest in my writing and my ideas. I have been given a phenomenal amount of help with the promotion, so of course you would like things to go well, but it doesn’t always happen as I found over the last couple of years when mental and physical burn out kicked in and disrupted the business and the promotion.

Q. What will having people sponsor your writing fund help with?

A. The promotion of my writing, the creation of new literary works including travel writing, books and articles on many subjects.

Q. How else are you raising money?

A. I will be creating Patreon pages shortly that subscribers can access, and I will also be creating more merchandising, and I have a Youtube channel that I hope to get monetized in the future. I have Digital albums, CD’s, and merchandising on sale. All sales are sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

Q. What are you working on next?

A. After fundraising, a travel book in the UK and articles on culture, art and music.

Q. What else are you working on?

A. Energy generation ideas. I received wonderful news yesterday 21/02/2026, that there is the possibility of funding for a prototype device based upon my idea for energy generation.

Q. What is the greatest thing that would you like to achieve?

A. I would love to get the Support network for the human race off of the ground. A free network across the world that people can connect to without having to pay for mobile phone credit, internet credit, WiFi credit and satellite credit. It is currently a work in progress and the link to it can be found below:

The support network for the human race

Q. When are you going to be dressed as a space alien in public again?

A. As soon as possible, Space 2047 needs a lot of promoting.

Q. How long did it take to write the book Space 2047?

A. I worked for two to three hours a day for about six months.

Q. What is the biggest problem you have faced selling books on Amazon?

A. I was burnt out and exhausted and I uploaded a poorly edited version of Space 2047. A character appeared that was never mentioned in the rest of the book. I had a similar chunk of text to another that basically said the same thing. I sold a copy of the book and received a poor review of the book on Amazon and they were of course critical. I offered to send a new version of the re-edited version for free but the customer never get back to me. The book is a very good book I assure you. Any sales would be greatly and sincerely appreciated.

Q. Is there more to life than sitting down on the sofa working?

A. Yes, I jumped up and down on my sofa and shouted rude things about Kim Jong Un when he went missing briefly, and I love spending time with friends and family. I also like taking time off from work. Work is and has been very intensive and mentally and physically exhausting. Billy Glassunes on Youtube has quite a bit to say about Kim Jong Un.

Q. When are you getting off of your sofa?

A.
