Emma asked Abigail Johnson:

Hello I'm Emma! I was wondering why you decided to become an author? You were obviously good at writing. But isn't a big step to become an one? Thank you so much for your time!!!!!!!

Abigail Johnson Hi Emma! I talk a little about this on my blog: http://abigailjohnsonbooks.com/sellin... But the short answer is that I've been a voracious reader my whole life, and I've always written little things as well, but it wasn't until I took a writing class in college that the idea of becoming a published author took root. It is a big step, and for me at least, a challenging one, but I'm persistent :) I worked hard writing IF I FIX YOU (which was my first book), and just as hard finding a phenomenal literary agent who brought me to my fantastic editor at Harlequin Teen, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
