Sylvia asked Gail Carson Levine:

I noticed that most of your books are fantasy or fractured fairytales. Why do you choose to write in these genres?

What was your inspiration to start writing fairytale retellings? Also, what's your advice to young writers who can't seem to finish anything?

Isabelle asked Gail Carson Levine:

I loved your books The Two Princesses of Bamarre and Fairest growing up!! Do you have any favorite fantasy authors that you would recommend to someone who is now in their 20s and looking to return to the kind of magic and adventure found in your stories?

Elizabeth Faustina asked Gail Carson Levine:
