At school, we have to write about our favorite author and learn all about them. I picked you, and I have a few questions. (Also, right now, I am trying my BEST to not go total fan-girl mode on you.)

1. Why did you want to become an author? (More like, why did you follow through with writing after seventh grade?)

2. How do you get your ideas for stories? (Do they just come to you on the spot or do you have a bunch of ideas that you plan to use later?)

3. What was your favorite book that you have written?

4. If you could write a sequel to any singular book that you wrote, which one would it be?

5. Do you have any people that inspired/influenced you?

6. What were some of your obstacles and hardships in your life?

7. When you were young (about elementary school age or younger), what did you want to be when you grew up?

8. What was your first thought when you had total creative freedom?

9. Did you always know you were awesome at writing?

10. If you had one author you would like to collaborate with for a book, who would it be and why?

11. Which characters from your books do you think you would want to be friends with (or enemies with) the most?

12. Do you ever get really interested in writing a book and then about halfway through you decide that you hate it and want to trash it? (Yes, I know, this is super specific, but I want to become an author and I was wondering if it was just me.)

13. I noticed in several of your books, you have mentioned cherry bombs. Why is that?

14. Why are most of your characters around middle school age?

15. What are some hobbies of yours?

16. What is your current life like?

17. What book that you have written are you most proud of?

18. Do you have any tips and tricks you can share with future authors?

Thank you so, so much. You have no idea how excited I am!

Thanks again, 

Sydney Greenwald

P.S. I love all of your books so much, and I can\’t wait for \”Old School\”!
