Elden
Elden asked Stuart Gibbs:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ In your book, Whale Done, at the end, Teddy got a contract for his life to be turned into a movie. Was this hinting at that there is going to be an actual movie, or is it just part of the plot? Also, thanks for sharing the cover and plot of SSGN! I’ve been waiting and will preorder soon. Thanks! (hide spoiler)]

Ryan Mason
Ryan Mason asked Stuart Gibbs:

Mr. Gibbs, Can you please tell me about your outlining/plotting process for Spy School and Charlie Thorne books. Is the plotting linear(from beginning to end) or do you start from the end (the main conflict and its solution) and work backwards or is there any other method?

Avinash Vedantam
Avinash Vedantam asked Stuart Gibbs:

Mr. Gibbs you are my most favorite author! Where do you get your inspiration from? And do you have any tips for writing? I love writing stories and was wondering on how I can improve!
