Goodreads asked Bethany Atazadeh:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Bethany Atazadeh I thought it would be seeing my books on the shelves - which was very exciting, don't get me wrong! But my favorite part of being a writer has actually been when a reader reaches out to talk to me about the story. "When so-and-so did this, it made me feel" type comments are the craziest and coolest to hear at the same time, because my initial reaction is always, "Wait, you know who that is?" To me, these characters and worlds I've created only exist in my head, so knowing they're out in the world feels incredible.
