Mandy asked Jonathan Stroud:

Are the rapiers in the Lockwood & Co. series more similar to foils, épées, or sabres?

Jonathan Stroud Good question. I think it varies - different agents adopt subtly different rapiers for their use, depending on their own preferences. Some have larger hand-guards than others; some are marginally heavier, or thicker. I guess something like a foil would be the classic look, though.

Where can I submit my novel so that it can be picked up by a great publishing company?

Reymigius asked Jonathan Stroud:

You're always create a strong female character and we love it! Is there any particular person who inspire you? We should know whether in this world we can find someone as badass as Kitty, Lucy, Asmira, or Aud :)

Purple porpentine asked Jonathan Stroud:

Lockwood and co. is set in an alternate universe of sorts, but if the Problem were to crop up in our universe, how do you think people would react? Also how would ghosts affect technology?
