I kind of just write what I like to write. I'm thankful that readers of different ages seem to connect to my stories. I don't consciously think about age demographics when I'm working on my comics.

I'd always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s as substitutes for experience.

One likes to think one grows as a writer as one ages, else all you get is an 'old' young writer. Beyond that is the changing landscape of the universe and the stories I choose to tell.

I could read at a very early age and I loved stories, losing myself in stories, novels.

I don't think I prefer writing for one age group above another. I am just as pleased with a story which I feel works well for very small children as I do with a story for young adults.

I've always been drawn to writing for young readers. The books that I read growing up remain in my mind very strongly.

I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.

As far as I'm concerned, you either read books for children, or you read books for adults.

All I can say is, I don't encourage younger kids to read my books, and actually, the biggest age group on my Facebook page is 25- to 35-year-old women.
