Ana Paula Bassi asked Juliet Marillier:

I know it may be a silly question but... where do you like writing? And I don't just mean places, like at home, but if you like handwriting or computer writing. And if it's in a computer, do you think the programs or tipe of letters matter to you? They influence you somehow? I think that's it. Thank you for your books, they save me every time <3

Juliet Marillier Thanks for the question, Ana! I write direct onto a computer these days. I do write some notes with paper and pen, but handwriting is too slow for the actual book manuscripts. I learned to touch type when I was working in the public service and I am quite quick. Font type and size: Times New Roman 12 point, double spaced, because that's a format publishers like when I submit the manuscript and I find it nice and clear to read. I write in my study, and these days I have a desktop computer with a big screen, and proper ergonomic furniture. It took me years to get organised. My four dogs all have beds in the study and they snooze around me while I am working!

Rosie asked Juliet Marillier:

Hello Juliet. I consider you a gifted woman. I was not a fan of the fantasy genre until someone recommended me to try to read the world of Sevenwaters. And so I did and how glad I am! You are a magnificent storyteller with an extraordinary imagination. Does anyone ever approached you with the idea of turning one of your stories into a movie? It would be amazing to see your characters coming to life!

jesse asked Juliet Marillier:

I know this is one of the most asked questions you get asked, concerning Wildwood #3 and that this is something that very much dependent on your publisher. Would you consider a scenario where you post a chapter in regular intervals and then self-publish when you have enough to make the book (similar to Ilona Andrews)?

Ana Rita

Ana Rita asked Juliet Marillier:

Hi Juliet I’m so surprised how no one yet made a good series of your books? I just finished the sevenwaters series books and is so good history. I also live in Ireland for the past 2 years so I actually went to some places that you mentioned in the books. I would love to see this in the big screen.
