Silvaranna asked Gail Carson Levine:

I have read a good portion of your stories. Sadly, my small town library did not have or have access to as many as I would have liked. My question is where do you lands and people come from? How do you decide who is worth writing? There are so many worlds, how do you keep them all straight?

Gail Carson Levine Many of my stories come from fairy tales. I pick the ones that give rise to more and more ideas. When I return to a world, I reread the earlier book or books--but I have been known to make mistakes!
