Corey Craig
Corey Craig asked John Grisham:

What is your writing process? How do you prepare for a day or writing?

John Grisham I start at 7 each morning at the same place, same cup of coffee, same everything, and write until noon. My goal is 1000 words a day.

More Answered Questions

Deborah Finnamore
Deborah Finnamore asked John Grisham:

Hello, John. Early in your career did you have enough experience or knowledge to be able to craft your “voice?” That’s one thing I love about your books. Subjects aside, the tone and tamber of your voice that I hear in my head as I am reading is consistent and as a reader, comfortable. It helps set expectations. As an aspiring writer how much should new/young writers focus on that?

Brayden
Brayden asked John Grisham:

Hello, Mr. Grisham- I was wondering if you have any plans to write another book about Football, and also how your personal Faith ties into your writing?

Jenine
Jenine asked John Grisham:

What made you decide to write a novella with the Jake Brigance character instead of another full length book?
