Goodreads asked Betsy Robinson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Betsy Robinson Writing. I love to write. I have never understood writers who don't like to write. Why do it if you don't love it? The world certainly doesn't need more books.

Carmine Starnino asked Betsy Robinson:

Hi Betsy, saw your note about Ducharme and wanted to let you know that our press is publishing a new translation of L'avalée des avalés. Would you like a copy? http://www.vehiculepress.com/Press%20Releases/SwallowedMediaKit.pdf

Peter Wild
Peter Wild asked Betsy Robinson:

Strange question, possibly (so apologies up front!): I can see that you've reviewed The Weather and the Women Treat Me Fair by Percival Everett - I don't suppose (a) you still have a copy of the book and (b) whether you'd be interested in parting with it? (I'm trying to make my way through the Percival Everett back catalogue and there are 4 books that are eluding me, this being one of them!). Thank for your time :)
