A Goodreads user asked Anna Staniszewski:

What inspired you to write The Dirt Diaries? I loved the books and I couldn't put them down!!

Anna Staniszewski Thanks so much for reading! The Dirt Diary was inspired by a story I heard on the radio about a girl who had to clean houses with her mom, and she even had to clean the houses of some of her classmates. When I heard that, my brain started spinning with all the embarrassing things that could happen in that kind of scenario, and I knew I had to write them down!
