Rick Riordan:
I read in your blog that you're translating Dante's Inferno from Italian (which is SO cool by the way), and I was wondering if you think you might ever adapt/take inspiration from something like that for a middle grade audience?
Rick Riordan
Would love to. The problem, as always, is time. With so much already on my plate, I don't know if that's something I will have a chance to pursue, but thanks for asking. In the meantime, I'll be waiting for someone else to take up my challenge of making a Dante/Virgil love story a la The Song of Achilles. That I would love to read!

Rick Riordan:
Just wondering, even as a successful author, do people sometimes judge you more for who they think you are, and not for your writing, or even try to undermine your pride for your work? Because as an immigrant female high schooler in a Literary Analysis class with mostly guys, I often find that the criticism directed towards me tends to reflect my writing skills less and my gender and background more.

Hi, Rick! After reading all your books, I’m really inspired to become an author. I’ve seen some people that plan the whole book out and make a chapter outline and others that just keep writing without a plan till the book is over. Which do you reccommend and use? Thanks.
