Amelia Christopher asked Stuart Gibbs:

Hello Stuart Gibbs! I really enjoyed your ‘Space Case’ series and your ‘Charlie Thorne’ series, I can say I’ve read all of them multiple times. I am super excited to see the next Charlie Thorne come out! My question is, how long does it usually take to make a book? Sincerely, a fellow bibliophile

Stuart Gibbs It can take years of brainstorming and research before I am even ready to start writing a book. Then it takes around six months (but sometimes more) to write the first draft and another year or two to do the subsequent ten or so drafts until the book is done.
