Tolu Adisa asked Gayle Forman:

How did you start writing and what message did you want to send?

Gayle Forman I've always written. I studied journalism in college and was a journalist for 12 years before I wrote my first novel.

As for messages, I don't plant messages in my books. Even if I wanted to, I suspect I'd fail miserably. It's really gratifying to me as an author seeing the messages that readers get out of my books. It varies widely, as it should. The books are yours. You get from them what you need.
