Jillian Stewart asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

I absolutely loved The Impossible Knife of Memory, it was so captivating and I loved the wording. Although, I must ask when is your next book coming out, and how much can you tell about it?

alexa~♥ asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

How do you get story ideas? I love to write but I feel like my story ideas suck. :P So I was wondering where you get yours?

BumbleBrie Bourn
BumbleBrie Bourn asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

I just finished reading your classic, Speak for the 4th time in 3 weeks- OMG! I love it so much! See, I had 2 brain injuries (& a few concussions); the first one made it so that I can't really speak (or I could, like I went in for acupuncture, but I had TBI #2). My question for you is after the book (or your mind, I guess), does she ever go for speech therapy?
