_lavanya asked Alice Oseman:

Hey, first off, not to be cringe, but I adore you. I finished writing and editing my first book a few months ago and have finally decided to start submitting to a few agents. Did you mention your age in your cover letter? I’m a teenager and I’m not sure whether I should in case it will make agents take me less seriously.

Alice Oseman Ahh thank you so much! And congrats on finishing your book! I didn't mention my age (I was eighteen at the time), but I did say that I was a 'student'. I hope that helps!

Hi Alice,Aled wasn't specifically said to be agender but I feel like the way they were described says something. Especially the fact that their hair and many other things being the same with Radio.Since Radio was agender, can we say that Aled is also agender?

Beth_Taylr99 asked Alice Oseman:

Have you got any advise for teen writers? Do have a video on it? I'm currently writing a LGBT focused book. Rep for Trans Women, Non-Biniary People, Asexuality and LGBT people in religion.

A Goodreads user asked Alice Oseman:

I really love Radio Silence since I feel like it pretty much hit the nail on the head with how I felt after graduating from my school. What inspired you to write it and how did you manage to sum up the experience of so many within a singular book? (Love from Germany <3)
