Goodreads asked Marc Klein:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Marc Klein I have spent most of my career writing movies. When you finish a screenplay, you must hand it over to dozens of other people (producers, directors, studio executives, actors) all of whom want you to make changes; changes that you often don't agree with. This leads to a lot of exhausting creative combat. My experience writing "The In Between" book has been so much more civilized! My brilliant editor only made suggestions -- many of which I took -- but there was not a lot of interference, and I absolutely loved that.
