I just finished DON'T JUDGE A GIRL BY HER COVER. Will you be writing a fourth one? Please?
Yes! I'm absolutely thrilled to tell you that I am currently hard at work on the fourth Gallagher Girls book! I don't have a title or a release date yet, but as soon as I do I'll post it ASAP.
How many Gallagher Girl novels will there be?
The general plan is to to a total of 6 books--a book a semester for Cammie's sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school. That's always subject to change, of course. The only thing I know for sure is that I will write however many books it takes to tell the story well.
Do you think you'll ever write any more books besides the Gallagher Girl books?
Yes! I'm soooo happy because I actually just sold the first book in what I hope will be a new series. It's about a girl who comes from a family of high-end conmen and thieves and the harder she tries to leave the family business the more they pull her back in. Everyone keeps calling it "Ocean's 11 meets Veronica Mars" (which suits me just fine!) It will be in stores in February of 2010!
Is there really going to be a Gallagher Girls movie?
That's actually a very complicated question, that is probably best answered by "maybe". In the last four years there have been several interested parties in Hollywood, but there is no movie "in production" at this time. If and when that changes I will share the news ASAP.
Where/how can I try out for the movie?
I'm afraid I don't really have any information on that. I probably won't get any either, but if I do I'll post it here and on AllyCarter.com.
Are you going on tour anytime soon? Will you come to my city?
The answer is no. And maybe.
It's always possible that I will go on tour in the future. If you'd like me to come to an area near you, please use the following link to request your city!
Are you sure you can't tell me where the movie tryouts are going to be?
Sorry. I truly, honestly don't know.
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
The two best things any writer can do are read a lot and write a lot! Also, don't worry about getting your book or story perfect the first time--just keep writing. It takes a lot of work and practice, but when you've written something you like, there's no greater feeling.
I've posted some basic writing advice on AllyCarter.com, so check it out!
Who are your favorite writers?
I'm usually in awe of amazing authors like Meg Cabot, Jennifer Weiner, Sarah Dessen, Alison Pace, E. Lockhart, Megan Shull, and pretty much anyone in my 'top friends.'
Are you an iTunes user? If so, check out the songs that I think should be on the Gallagher Girls soundtrack!
Unlike the girls I write about, I don't know three different ways to kill a man with a piece of uncooked spaghetti (I probably know two--tops!), so I am definitely not a spy (but if I were, do you really think I'd say so....)
