Stephanie--Thanks! I love BEAUTY by Robin McKinley and THE MOORCHILD by Eloise McGraw, and Donna Jo Napoli does a wonderful job with fairytale interpretations. My favorite: BEAST. And I enjoyed Shannon Hale's THE GOOSE GIRL.
Hey so I really love your books but I've read most of them multiple times, I was wondering if you have any recommendations for other stories of the same genre as yours?
Emily--Wow! Thanks! Good luck with your story. I hope you win!
Star--I'm a dinosaur, still using Word Perfect.
Mikayla--One approach would be to put in lots of magic and see what's useful for the plot. Then, when you revise, you can take out the elements that seem like too much.
Dear Mrs. Levine,
I've been a huge fan for years. I love the way your stories come to life. I've read almost all your books, and they help inspire me with ideas for my own writing. I just finished reading "Writing Magic" and thought it was super helpful. I'm starting on my second novel, and it's going to be a fantasy. I was wondering, how do you know how much magic to put in? I know that I want some in my book, but I don't want it to seem too unbelievable. Thank you so much for all your wonderful stories!

Dear Gail,
I have a question for you. I saw the picture of you in front of your computer under the "About" page. I am wondering if you type on Word? What program do you use? Thanks,
