Lois Lowry:
Do you write to further explore your subconscious mind, to get your feelings and opinions across to the reader, or to get away from reality (or any combination of the three)?
Lois Lowry
I write simply to tell a good story. Things from my subconscious find their way into the stories I write.

Lois Lowry:
I am wondering if you are part of a community of children's authors. Do you talk with others children's authors as part of your writing process? Does reading other contemporary children's authors influence you? Who do you think are some of the most promising new children's authors? I enjoyed hearing your speak at the Magic Lantern in Bridgton, but didn't have time to ask my questions :) Thank you.

Lois Lowry:
I read the Anastasia Krupnik series in grade school. As I recall, the books were not what one expected from juvenile or YA literature at the time. They bore some coarse language, dealt with puberty and sex, and featured a fairly liberal family, but none of these things defined the books. I was wondering: did you ever receive any criticism for including such "mature" things so casually in children's books?
