Today on the blog I am pleased to present an interview with Lauren Spieller! Ms. Spieller is the author of the YA book Your Destination is on the Left, which releases June 26th! :)
Here's the interview!
The bold font are the questions I asked, the regular font are her answers, and the bold italic font are my comments about her answers.
1. Would you please describe your debut book, Your Destination is on the Left, in seven words?
Teen nomad finds artistic future after failure
2. In Your Destination is on the Left, Dessa travels the US in an RV. What's one state you haven't visited, that you would like to?
I've never been to Washington state, and I'm dying to go! I'd particularly love to see Seattle!
Seattle would be neat to go to! :)
3. Random question! What's your favorite kind of coffee?
I am addicted to lattes. Espresso + steamed milk = heaven on earth.
4. What's one piece of advice you would give aspiring authors?
Read! The best way to develop your voice and learn about the market is to read everything you can get your hands on. This includes manuscripts by critique partners--you learn by giving feedback on other people's work!
Good advice! :)
5. What are some books you're looking forward to reading in 2018? And if you've already read some '18 books, which books have you loved?
Oh my gosh, there are so many. I'm reading Rachel Lynn Solomon's debut, YOU'LL MISS ME WHEN YOU'RE GONE, and it's lovely. I also can't wait to read Joy McCullough's BLOOD WATER PAINT. Also--and I'll admit I'm super biased because I represent her--but Laura E. Weymouth's debut YA Fantasy, THE LIGHT BETWEEN WORLDS, is going to blow everyone away. And finally, I can't wait to get my hands on ON THE COME UP by Angie Thomas.
The Vanishing Kingdom sounds really interesting! :)
Thank you so much to Ms. Spieller for participating in this event!
