If you could do a book signing, and successfully invite three writing industry pro’s to attend and get a signed copy, who would you pick, and why them? On a global scale, choosing three professionals, regardless of details or distance?
“I would invite John Green. His work is so powerful, and his novel, “Looking for Alaska” was written about a high school that is in my hometown. I have felt that a lot of his work has touched me in a deep way and inspired me as a writer. I would also invite Suzanne Collins. I think she did a lot for teen readers, pop culture, and the industry in general. I would also invite Jennifer Lawrence who brought that character of Katniss to life.”
What is something about the book that fuels your drive to keep writing? Possibly the success in sales, or your reader’s positive reaffirmations? What are the biggest inspiration in this world of negotiations and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities?
“It fuels me to think that I am inspiring people to read and to use their imagination. I am always encouraging teens, young adults, and kids to use their imagination. Those teen years are so important for using your imagination because as life goes on it tends to dim and I want to keep those brains as bright as possible.”
What are some upcoming projects, and where can we find them? Why should we all do so?
“You can find my book, “Forever Seventeen” on Smashwords. It can be googled as “Lizzie Bowen Forever Seventeen Smashwords”
