Laurie Halse Anderson:
I'm very interested in psychology and things of that nature, and Speak and Wintergirls go into that so deeply and so well. What is the process of getting all the information for those books and how important to you is accuracy of facts?
Laurie Halse Anderson
Factual information, such as what goes on in the body and brain of someone who is starving to death, is critically important. I talk to the experts and have them review my story to make sure I have portrayed things like that properly.
The fictional bits are up to me.
