3 thoughts on “Authors on the Verge: Meet Teri Hall, young adult novelist”
Thanks so much for covering The Line! The publisher is actually Dial Books for Young Readers. There was a switch when my editor changed houses.
Sounds like a fun story.
I loved reading this interview and finding out more about Teri Hall and her new book — which I’m sticking on my to-read list — mostly because I really admired and connected to many of her answers and thoughts. I especially liked this (not least b/c I’m still on the writing and persevering side of the publishing wall)
“Be realistic about how writing can change your life. The big ways it changes it are by adding meaning (for you, certainly, and hopefully for readers) and by allowing you an outlet for your thoughts and feelings. It isn’t about status, or money, or fame.”
This goes along with something I’ve been thinking about, that no matter how hard it is to submit and face rejection, it is so much better than giving up and surrendering to a quiet, vanilla life. Writing is about adding meaning — it is the goal, in and of itself.
