Have you ever thought, if approached, you would make the books into a movie?"Thank you!!! I'm so glad that you have enjoyed them and thank you so much for passing my books on! I would love for them to be made into movies I think that would be awesome!

I think that it's awesome that you have written a novel!!! Congratulations, that is a major accomplishment! I don't think that publishers would be put off by your age. Have you heard of Amelia Atwater-Roads? She was published at a very young age and has been very successfully. I think you should do whatever you feel you are ready for! I wish you all the best! And thank you again for reading my books!

I would say that if you really ant to write then you need to keep doing it. The more you write the better you will get! Also read, read anything you can whether it is in the same genre that you write or not. I wish you all the best hope to see your name out there on book covers soon!
Quinn, What advice do you have for someone who would like to start writing their own book but don't know where to start?

Thanks! I hope so too! After I read your first book, I woke up next day with such an urge to write a book of my own. At first I thought it was going to be a phase or something but one day of writing turned into two days, then three days, and before I knew it a month passed by and im still wiriting it. I do want to be an author one day, how should I go about doing that? How did you get your book out there?

Do you happen to know when you'll have a release date for book 5? I am dying to read it!!!!!
Deidre wrote: "Do you happen to know when you'll have a release date for book 5? I am dying to read it!!!!!"Hi Deidre! Thank you so much! I will be setting one I think it will be for late September or early October. I'm sorry that it isn't set yet, but I will post it on my site in the next week.
Quinn wrote: "Karina wrote: "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your books are loved in Australia, I got all my book buddies onto them and they absolutely adore them just like I do! But I also wanted to ask..."thanks so much Quinn!!!
Is there going to be a spin-off series for your books?
LaShawn wrote: "Quinn, What advice do you have for someone who would like to start writing their own book but don't know where to start?"I would say first do an out line. Write down your ideas for the book, possible characters, conflicts, etc. An outline is always a good place to start and a lot of times it will help you get your thoughts in order :)
Jenny wrote: "Quinn wrote: "Jenny wrote: "Jenny-- I LOVE your books! I have never been so hooked on a series before!! Please dont stop wtiting :) you have inspired me to start writing again. Ive written differen..."That's so cool! I don't have a publisher, all of my books are entirely self published. So you just need to decide which route you want to go. If you self publish you would just go through Kindle Direct publishing to publish on Amazon and Pubit for B&N. Then it's a matter of getting your name out there. Getting bloggers to do reviews for you, and getting your books in as many hands as possible. If you want to go the traditional route you will need to do some research and find out some agents who are in the genre you are writing and start sending query letters. It just all depends on which way you want to go. They both have pros and cons.

Hi Quinn. I can't wait to read the 5th book of the series and I was wondering what inspired you to write this wolf series also all of your books are amazing
Kathryn wrote: "Hi Quinn. I can't wait to read the 5th book of the series and I was wondering what inspired you to write this wolf series also all of your books are amazing"
Hi Kathryn! Thank you so much!
Well I guess the first thing would be just that I love werewolves. I think they are such great paranormal characters and have so much potential. They are extremely redeemable because of their animal nature. I also love the YA genre and that is why i decided to do it in this age group.
No, no pressure for deadlines!! Take all your time!! We don't want you rushing through it!! Teehee. =)I guess that would be one of the pros on being self-published... You are your own boss! :P

That is def what I like. I can set my own time frame and I really like being in control of my creative freedom!
Thanks so much for joining us this month Quinn! I'm curious, as a writer myself, how many people do you usually use to read your ARCs? I know while writing you want feedback but at what point do you decide that you have enough and your ready to put your work out there? Adored POW btw and have 2-4 already just haven't read them yet.
Oh one more. Do you have any sites out there you recommend for the serious writer who wants to hook up with other indie authors and get support, run ideas, that type of thing? (Other than my fabulous Goodreads peeps)
Quinn, Do you have a favourite quote? or some advice for aspiring authors?
Hey i love reading your grey wolves series and i was wondering in the 5th book who's perspective is it mostly going to be in?

I know while writing you want feedback but at what point do ..."Hi Michele! For me I probably use more ARC and Beta readers than a lot of people. I have around 10 or so that I use. The feedback does help. Usually what I'm asking for is for them to look at the continuity of the story. Usually I'm not going to change the story, but if there is some sort of facts changed or something that doesn't make any sense to the reader than I like to fix those things.

Gabby wrote: "Quinn, Do you have a favourite quote? or some advice for aspiring authors?"Favorite quote hmm...“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
― Dr. Seuss
Write, write and write some more, for that is how you will get better. And when you get better remember you are not done, you have not arrived, there is still more to learn and more to write!
Monica wrote: "Hey i love reading your grey wolves series and i was wondering in the 5th book who's perspective is it mostly going to be in?"Thank you so much! Book 5 is Sally and Costin's story so we will hear a lot from them, however, I like to know what everyone is doing and thinking so we will still continue to hear from the other characters and see how all that is happening is affecting them not to mentions their stories are not done just yet :)
Quinn wrote: "Michele (chelemybelle) wrote: "Oh one more. Do you have any sites out there you recommend for the serious writer who wants to hook up with other indie authors and get support, run ideas, that type..."Right now I'm working on general YA/realistic fiction. I'm a high school mentor so I am focusing on things that they deal with daily and of course young love too. (sort of on par with 13 Reasons Why or Before I Fall). I will venture into PN in the future though.
Michele (chelemybelle) wrote: "Quinn wrote: "Michele (chelemybelle) wrote: "Oh one more. Do you have any sites out there you recommend for the serious writer who wants to hook up with other indie authors and get support, run id..."I would recommend finding some YA indie authors in your genre and blog them or if they have facebook message them, from my experience the indie community is so great about helping each other out
Quinn, first off I love your books!!! They are amazing! I read the first two in one day because I got so into them. I also got my cousin into them too. :) I can't wait until your fifth book comes out. Also have you ever considered what an awesome movie (or movies I should say) it would be?!? I would absolutely get them if they became movies!!! :D
Quinn made me cry at the UtopYA awards. She was so full of amazement and joy every time she won it was so wonderful to watch! Series is on my TBR I can't wait to finally have some reading time!
If you want Quinn to answer your question, please re-write your post and hide the spoiler.
Thank you for your understanding.
