All the Questions I’ve Been Asked: A Guide to Writing Life – “I’m new to this. Do you have any advice?” For more than twenty years, YA author and freelance writer Victoria Perkins has been navigating the writing world, from teaching to publishing to conventions, and the number of times she’s been asked some form of this question has only grown. With so many books out there about how to write perfect plots or the secret formulas to sales, she decided to put together a more generalized book that answers many of the common questions she’s been asked, covering everything from the differences between plot-driven and character-driven writing to the legalities of AI-generated art, from common writing mistakes to suggestions about what to take to events. If you’ve ever had a writing question you wanted to ask someone who’s been there, this is the book for you.
