A Goodreads user asked Sophie Hannah:

Loved "A Game for All the Family"!! How did you pinpoint your plot so well? With everything intertwining beautifully... was it meticulously plotted or more added on as you went? Thank for the wonderful read! I devoured it over a three day weekend!

Sophie Hannah Thank you! Delighted to hear you enjoyed it so much! It was pretty thoroughly planned, yes. I always plan in detail. I find it really helps to do the story structuring first, then concentrate on writing the story as well as I can, once I've sorted out the plot in my mind.

Cayce Callaway asked Sophie Hannah:

Hi Sophie, while browsing on GR, I came upon your profile and saw your photo. It makes you look like a person of color, which you obviously are not. I'm sure there is absolutely no intent to deceive your audience of fans, but it's misleading nonetheless at a time when we should be making sure writers of color are getting their due recognition.Would you might consider changing it? No need to make this question public.
