Great Interview With Meg Rosoff

not your mother's bookclub has a great interview with Meg Rosoff.

Pay special attention to her discussion of how working in advertising affects the way she writes and her advice to teenagers who want to write. Her description of what it's like to win a major award points out that there is, indeed, a down side. (I would have thought the down side was having to figure out what to wear to the awards ceremony, but Rosoff's down side is good, too.)
