Goodreads asked Demet Divaroren:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Demet Divaroren I’ve always been an observer. As a child, I watched the world from far. I was shy and scared to raise my voice. As I got older, I fell in love with books and suddenly my life extended beyond one Melbourne suburb to the rest of the world. Books made me love, laugh, cry and question things. They inspired me to write and create worlds, characters and diverse voices. Writing is my way of being part of something bigger. It is freedom and expression, a way for me to articulate the things that bug me, that make me happy, that fascinate and move me, that confuse and challenge me.
