Goodreads asked Lioness DeWinter:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Lioness DeWinter The best thing about being a writer is doing what you love! Also, when you get letters from your readers and they tell you that your characters have validated and inspired them in some way. I have cried over many letters that I've received from these sweet young people who feel like outcasts because they are gay or trans or they don't fit the rules of society somehow. I like to try to give them support and love and let them know that they're worth something. They're worth a LOT! That makes me happy. A lot of us in the LGBTQ+ community feel shunned at times. It's very important to have representation in books, films, music, and entertainment.
