I just decided that it was worth sharing your insight and approach with others who're trying to be successful too.<BR/><BR/>I don't find it at all surprising to me that all the successful people who are good at writing tell their story and explain their approach using the same basic messages - but each tells their story in a way which is unique to them.<BR/><BR/>That's what makes people like you successful...

Katherine, thank you so much for this post. I...Wow! Katherine, thank you so much for this post. I feel very . . . celebrity!<BR/><BR/>And yes, I still remember the emails we exchanged way back when I was selling LAMENT. You said "the world needs a new J. K." or something like that and I was all caution: "now, now, Katherine, 99% of authors don't get those sorts of deals . . ."<BR/><BR/>And you proved me wrong, because here I am with Scholastic and with one of those sorts of deals! I think you do have some sort of magic eye for picking newcomers!Maggie Stiefvaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842527558335640093noreply@blogger.com
