Sage Okolo asked Lois Lowry:

Do you have any interest in writing screenplays? Have you ever written one, and if so, do you have advice about forming them for young writers? Thank you!!

Lois Lowry No, I have never written for the screen. I have adapted one of my books...GOSSAMER..to the stage. They...stage, screen...require very different sorts of mechanics on the part of the writer.

Do you think "The Giver" inspired the authors that wrote "The Hunger Games," "Divergent," and any other movie where choice is a major problem to the government?

Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall asked Lois Lowry:

Hallo, Mrs. Lowry! I think my family's copy of "Goonie Bird Greene" is still in my mother's car. I read it much when I was little! So, on with le questions. What do you think about the recent dystopians swimming around in the YA market? Is it neat to see the influx of works with the same genre as some of yours? And lastly, do you qualify The Giver, personally, as a dystopian? Thank you. Sincerely, Rowenna.
