Latest Blog Entry
This month, we sit down with John Green
Read our interview with John Green, Michael L. Printz Award-winning author of Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines. His new novel, Paper Towns, will be released in September, 2008.
BWI: Your current credits include three novels and works included in larger collections. Was it difficult to write a second book after your first was so successful? Does writing seem to provide the same challenges or thrills as you continue?
JG: Writing An Abundance of Katherines after the success of Looking for Alaska was a little bit hard—and writing Paper Towns after the nice reception of Katherines was a little hard, too (although, I mean, it ain’t coal mining). I don’t think it’s getting any harder—or easier.
Browse our full collection of interviews with top authors such as Jon Scieszka, Jenny Downham, Mark Teague, Melanie Watt, and many more.
