Max Nichols asked Alwyn Hamilton:

What's your writing process like? Word or Scrivener? Plotter or panster?

Alwyn Hamilton I write in word, I looked at Scrivener but I found it intimidating.

I would describe myself as neither a plotter or a pantser but a daydreamer. I spend a lot of time before I ever set fingers to keyboard telling myself the story, as I commute, as I try to fall asleep, and daydreaming certain scenarios for character. Usually over months and months. Enough of that and the story starts to come together in your mind, so by the time I sit down to write, I have certain key scenes visualized, I know my characters, I know my world, and I find what I don't have yet on the page.

Angy asked Alwyn Hamilton:

Hi. I need some advice from you. I am trying to write a book(fiction). I wanted to ask that whether there is some specific software that you use to write and edit your book?

Ashra asked Alwyn Hamilton:

Hi Alwyn. My name is Ashra. And never did I ever think my unusual name would ever show up in a young adult novel. Even though the Ashra from your novels is not a main character, the fact that she is mentioned as a heroine at all was very pleasing... Might I ask you where you discovered that name?
