It's a fallacy that people think that today's teenagers are shallow or somehow less intelligent than in the past.
From Margaret Stohl
Alden Ehrenreich is a drama nerd, and Alice Englert is indie girl. They're so cool in the way that our characters are cool.
If you look at 'Doctor Who,' it's a Time Lord in a blue box who travels around the universe. It's a silly concept, but it's one of the most brilliant, emotional experiences because it's sort of about what is humanity.
When you're writing about superpowers, you're writing about power. When you're writing about immortals, you're writing about mortality.
We kept my middle schooler home from school for three days before we turned in our final draft because she was so mean and so brutal at editing out all the cheesy bits. She would roll her eyes and make fun of us, and it was what we needed.
You better have your story down before you take it to a teenager.
I grew up sitting in my closet waiting to go Narnia.
I was an obsessive fantasy reader from the time I could read at all.
I was very shy - I didn't speak to anyone outside of my family until the fourth grade.
I was the person who stayed awake reading by the nightlight until the scary shadows made me crazy.
