Top Retellings of Classic Tales

Lily Erlic asked Lois Lowry:

I am looking forward to watching the movie, The Giver. I am so happy that you were the consultant for the movie. I have read the book and think it's wonderful. I am an author too. I am aspiring to write great prose like you. Right now, I am working on a science fiction book for children ages 8-12. Do you have any tips on finding the right agent?

Lois Lowry I'm sorry but I am simply not conversant with that process. I'd suggest you join the SCBWI. Take a look at their website.

Stephanie
Stephanie asked Lois Lowry:

Your work is emotional and raw. I know that you have used life events to inspire your books, and those inspirations have been proven to be the most beloved of your writings. I've also read your blog posts and wonder if your role as a mother and a grandmother are going to come up in another piece? To what extent has your already published work been inspired by your children and grandchildren?
