ellie (telemachus’s version) (free palestine) asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

Hi Ms. Nielsen! I just recently finished the first draft of my novel and I’m working on editing. Do you have any tips?

Jennifer A. Nielsen Congratulations! That's a big deal. For editing, rather than try to correct everything in one pass, focus on one specific change for each pass. Start with your biggest issues first and then work inward toward the tiniest details. But don't worry on those tiny details in the early passes - likely a lot of those words will change anyway. Good luck!

Hi mrs. Nielsen! I absolutely love your books because they have so much humor and can still be serious at the same time. I also really like that there is no actual cussing and that they are clean otherwise as well. Here is my question: are you a Christian? I’ve been wondering ever since I read A NIGHT DIVIDED :)
