Will Wynter asked Lev Grossman:

It's obvious Fillory is heavily influenced by Narnia. I was wondering if you're a fan of The Narnia books and if so how long you've been one? Was Fillory meant as a tribute to or a satire of Narnia? Would Fillory take the place of Narnia or do you imagine that one of those many fountains in the Neitherlands could lead to Narnia itself.

Ami

Ami asked Lev Grossman:

I absolutely love Julia. She's got a great story, and turns out to be such a badass! Did anyone (or any other characters) influence your writing of her?

Meredith

Meredith asked Lev Grossman:

Hi Lev! Your story about writerly isolation in the "How Not To Write Your First Novel" article on Buzzfeed recalled many details you used in the more "training montage" sections of The Magicians. It seems that you don't subscribe to the idea of shutting yourself away to try to master a skill or produce a piece of work - so what's your current writing process and how have you sought to develop your writing skills?
