Stephanie asked Rachel Renée Russell:

I love all of your books and I want to be a really good writer like you are when I grow up! Right now, I just turned 14, and my friends say that I am a great poertry writer. How can I get started with this career? What got you started?

Rachel Renée Russell Hi Stephanie! I'm happy to hear that you're so passionate about writing poetry. To get started, keep on doing what you're doing! Writing a lot is not only a TON of fun, but it also makes you even better!! I got started writing when I was really young, just like you! I loved telling stories so I wrote a lot about the people around me. Then I got even better with time!! Also, here's a link to a blog post on my Dork Diaries website about helpful writing tips: http://dorkdiaries.com/2016/02/writin...
I hope that helps!
