Any offers for film adaptations of your books (especially my favorites The Truth About Forever and This Lullaby) soon?
Sarah Dessen
I don't have any adaptations in the works currently, but I remain ever hopeful! I was really fortunate to have my first 2 novels made into a movie back in 2003 (How to Deal) and I loved every minute of it. YA is getting a lot of attention right now, so maybe someone will coming knocking. I SO hope so!

I would like to know how you start a book. Do you have a certain theme in mind and create a story around it or do the themes show up during writing? The characters in your books are always so lovely, very human people who make mistakes. When I finish one of your books, it always feels like saying bye to a friend. Do you have like a secret method for making them so human? :)

Hi Sarah! I've been a long time fan of yours and just picked up a copy of "Just Listen" from the library this week and am excited to read it! I also love to write YA Contemporary and have often been told that my books won't sell because they don't have vampires in them or a dystopian feel... Were you ever told this and how do you try to keep your books standing out in the YA world? Thanks!
