Haillie Winans asked Erin A. Craig:

I just absolutely loved Small Favors. It kept me turning every page until late into the night. I absolutely can't wait until you write more. I am currently writing a book(or so i hope) and everything is going well, but for my question. When the time comes how do you find an editor/ publisher that will consider your book?

Erin A. Craig I'm a traditionally published author, so once I had a manuscript that was ready, I queried agents until I was offered representation. After that, it was my agent who took the book to publishing houses (after several rounds of edits and polishing!). If you're looking to be published by the bigger houses, you need an agent to submit but there are many smaller presses that can be subbed to directly! It just depends on what sort of path you want to go down!

Hi, so I'm a highschool student and this year for my NY's resolution, I decided I wanted to write a book before I graduate. I've always been skilled with words and writing in general, but I just don't know where to begin. I have so many ideas but have trouble w/ worldbuilding. Any advice?

Cassandra Franco asked Erin A. Craig:

Hi Erin! I just finished reading the description of A Land So Wide, and I’m absolutely thrilled—it instantly brought Small Favors to mind, which I adored. Was that story part of the inspiration for this new book?
