Gia Ruiz
Gia Ruiz asked Lena Dunham:

As someone who is known for saying all the things that usually go unsaid, when you're writing a book with personal anecdotes, are you ever like "Lena...even this is too far..you can't write that?"

Gina Elle
Gina Elle asked Lena Dunham:

My question for you Lena, has to do with your writing process. The chapters we've read from Not That Kind Of Girl are obviously final drafts but approximately how many drafts or versions did you write/edit/revise/rewrite/delete or cry over (or not) before the final ones? Did you actually write them in the order in which they've been published? Many thanks. Your book made me laugh out loud. You're brilliant!

Sasha Harris
Sasha Harris asked Lena Dunham:

What's the weirdest/unexpected response you've received to the book? Or specifically, has your bravery around the scary parts your sexual life lead to reactions you wouldn't have imagined?
