Rebecca
Rebecca asked Jessica Day George:

Hey, why do you write books?

Jessica Day George Because my degree in Humanities/Comparative Literature means that I'm only qualified to write books about strange lands, or write essays about other people's books about strange lands.

Lydia asked Jessica Day George:

What advice do you have for editing a book after the first draft? I can always get it on paper, and then am completely stuck for editing. Also, I just want to say how much I love your books, especially The Rose Legacy and the Tuesdays at the Castle books. They always get me out of a reading slump!

Emma H. asked Jessica Day George:

Do Finn and Anthea eventually get married? Thanks!

Fionnula Enright
Fionnula Enright asked Jessica Day George:

i am currently writing a book but when writing it i always slip into whatever kind of writing style is in the book i am reading at that time so when you read over it it randomly switches writing style some times mid sentence how do you just stick with one style without accidentally switching to a different one?
