I know it may be a silly question but... where do you like writing? And I don't just mean places, like at home, but if you like handwriting or computer writing. And if it's in a computer, do you think the programs or tipe of letters matter to you? They influence you somehow? I think that's it. Thank you for your books, they save me every time <3
Juliet Marillier
Thanks for the question, Ana! I write direct onto a computer these days. I do write some notes with paper and pen, but handwriting is too slow for the actual book manuscripts. I learned to touch type when I was working in the public service and I am quite quick. Font type and size: Times New Roman 12 point, double spaced, because that's a format publishers like when I submit the manuscript and I find it nice and clear to read. I write in my study, and these days I have a desktop computer with a big screen, and proper ergonomic furniture. It took me years to get organised. My four dogs all have beds in the study and they snooze around me while I am working!

Hi Juliet! First of all wanted to congratulate you for the great job you did with the saga of Sevenwaters, the way in which both Sorcha as Liadan (because I haven't read the Child of the Prophecy) detail every part, is incredible. They are two of the best books I read so far, I am amazed with this books! (and I love them). I send you a big hug from Argentina :) -13 years old ?
