I love graphic novels. How do you find working as a writer in this format? What is the biggest challenge over a novel?

Kami Garcia Writing graphic novels is much easier for me on every level. I visualize my novels as I write them and I love writing dialogue, both of which naturally lend themselves to the graphic novel format. I also write very lean first drafts without a lot of fluff so that made the transition easier as well.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kami Garcia Finish writing the draft even if you think it sucks. You can’t fix something unless you finish and it’s important to learn how to finish.

Hi Kami! This novel was great! I can't wait for part three! My question: What happened to Chapters 11 and 12? In my copy, it's just chapter 10, and then thirty-two pages later Chapter 13. I've looked all over those thirty-two pages for chapter titles. I assume it's a misprint, but I'm still curious what the chapter titles were and what pages they were supposed to land on. Thanks! :D

Kami Garcia That’s so weird! Do you have the Advanced Reader Copy that came out early for reviewers or the final copy?
