Lexi Hutson asked Rachael Lippincott:

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

Rachael Lippincott Hi Lexi! Thanks so much for your question!

3rd grade. Mrs. Snyder's class. I LOVED to read growing up, and Mrs. Snyder, my teacher, gave me writing prompts to do during recess and outside of class. It was a total "Aha!" moment for me. I realized I could actually WRITE the stories that I wanted to read. I realized I could write myself INTO the stories that I loved. I realized the stories that I loved didn't have to end on the last page.

That feeling only grew and grew, with the help of mentors and writing workshops and other teachers guiding me along the way. But Mrs. Snyder's third grade class was the start of it all!
