Hi Jessica. I have read all your books and I love your writing so much. I am 13 years old and I have millions of stories in my head and also on paper. I was wondering if you have any advice for a young writer? Because obviously I can't get published right now (unfortunately). Thank you.

Hi! I'm glad you like my books so much, and I'm excited for you to be a writer, too!
1. Write every day, even if it's lists of names you like or titles, just write something!
2. Save everything you write, you never know when it might come in handy!
3. Read, read, read! Read all you can, in all different genres, that's how you learn to recognize good writing!

I am currently rereading Princess of the Silver Woods and I cannot believe how good it is--it came out during a bad time in my life so I don't actually remember reading it the first time. I can tell I am appreciating it so much more now than I would have then. Would you ever consider writing something that delves into the worldbuilding of Ionia? I'm fascinated with the dynamic between Walter Vogel and the "good frau."
