Erin asked Penelope Douglas:

Hi! I was curious as to what got you into writing? Was it something you always wanted to do? Did you take classes or enter writing contests? I'm very interested :) I'm also patiently waiting for Punk 57 in the mail and I am crazy excited! I love all of your work! :)

Penelope Douglas Thanks, Erin!

Basically reading was what got me into writing. When New Adult hit the scene, I found my niche, and I started dreaming up Bully. I was a teacher, so I knew how to write to some extent, and the rest I learned from my editor, Bekke.

Thanks for the question!
