Veronica Roth:
How did you come up with the concept of Poster Girl? (And Chosen Ones if you're up to answer). I love how unique these stories are; they aren't the typical dystopian, but rather the story that takes place after the common dystopian storylines.

I'm glad you like them! The answer to your question is basically just what you said: I think a lot about the stories that take place "after," or in between, or the ones we don't tell for whatever reason. Maybe I've started to think that way because there are a lot of prequels floating around, whether to books or to TV shows or movies, and that naturally makes me think about what order we tell stories in, why certain narratives come first, and whether exploring the aftermath can be fruitful in new ways. That line of thinking is really where Poster Girl (and Chosen Ones!) came from.

Veronica Roth:
Hi Veronica! I just finished the Divergent series and I absolutely love your style of writing! The characters are absolutely perfect. I was wondering which of your other books I should start on next? The excerpt of Carve the Mark that I read sounded interesting, but I would like to hear your opinion and see if you have any favorites. p.s could there ever be a fifth book in the Divergent series?
