Caylin asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia, I was wondering if your second Mirrorworld novel, Fearless, had an illustrated version? I love my copy of Reckless with all of the artwork at the beginning of each chapter, as well as the Inkworld novels with pictures at the end of each chapter! If not, have you thought of doing so? I can imagine it is A LOT of work, and I am aware that you published Heartless (more work), but I was just curious. Thanks!

Cornelia Funke Yes, it was illustrated as well. All my books are, as I illustrate most of them myself. But my US and UK publishers decided to not print the illustrations. The editions I will publish in September with my own publishing company Breathing Books will have all illustrations. I am so thrilled to hear you treasure illustrations in a book as much as I do:)

K asked Cornelia Funke:

Would you ever consider writing something for an older audience? I LOVE your writing style, and I would love to read something like "Dracula" by Bram Stoker or "Alice In Wonderland" (WITHOUT a romantic love twist between characters like most twists/spin-off of the books add. :/.) but with your writing style/from YOU. :).

Courtney Kleefeld asked Cornelia Funke:

You're one of the top writers who have influenced my own writing. :) How do you find the beginning of your stories? It's been so hard for me to decide how my book should start, even if I have some ideas how the rest of it goes, and I have rewritten my beginning over fifteen times. I may be simply trying to find my writing voice too.

Mari Clementine asked Cornelia Funke:

Also, I wanted to tell you that you’re one of my favourite authors! I know you’re taking part in the Ed Book Fest this year and I’m so excited to hear you talk there! I know many authors are doing signings so I was wondering if you’re doing that and if you know when? I’m a writer myself and you’ve been such a huge inspiration so it would be wonderful to have the opportunity to meet you and say hello! -Clementine :)
