Robert Beatty:
Is there ever going to be a movie about the Serafina series? I would love to see it if there is one! I would want to audition for a part if there was one. I probably would want to be Serafina or Rowena. I might want to become an author one day, do you have any tips?

Hi Seraphina, We are working hard to bring Serafina's adventures to the big screen & hope to have exciting news soon!
That is wonderful that you want to be an author & I wish you the very best of luck. Here is my advice:
-Write now and as often as you can. Carve out some time in your day, everyday, if possible.
-Keep at it. I started writing at the age of 11. Forty years later, I published my first book, "Serafina and the Black Cloak."
-Develop a system of feedback that works for you. For me, that means sharing my work throughout the writing process with a trusted circle of readers to get their reactions to the story. The network includes professional editors, educators, family and friends, and general readers of all ages.
-When possible, participate in writing workshops and classes. It's another very useful way to gain feedback and improve your writing.
-Think of yourself as a storyteller, not as a person writing a book. Focus on weaving a tale that's going to keep your readers on the edge of their seats.

Hello! I’ve been a fan of your books for a very long time, and after finishing the fourth Serafina book, I began to wonder—would there be a fifth? You don’t have to answer, and I know another unidentified book might be coming out after the next Willa book, but I’m just wondering. Thanks for being a great author!
