Hi Becky, what advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Becky Albertalli Great question! I'm parroting others here, I know, but I think it's so important to read widely and practice writing daily, if you can (and be as playful as possible). I'm also a big believer in the power of eavesdropping, and, in general, staying connected with the world around you.

For writers seeking traditional publication, I LOVE Delilah Dawson's advice in this post: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2013/...

Nanab asked Becky Albertalli:

I really like your book, for sure! :) It's just this little distraction when I couldn't just imagine how Simon and other characters looks like in real person. Would you mention some actors names who can describe for each cast?

Liam Zee

Liam Zee asked Becky Albertalli:

First off, absolutely loved your debut novel, and you better be ready because its gonna be big. And I have two questions: 1. How difficult was it to write this book and how long did it take you? 2. Are you working on anything else I can get my hands on relatively soon? Congrats in advance for the success and the amazingness of the book.
