As a writer what do to help come up with ideas? And dod you hand wirte or type first?
Ruta Sepetys
Hi Sophia!
Ideas for my books generally come from hidden or underrepresented parts of history. I'll become aware of the ideas through news articles, journals, or readers who suggest an idea to me. When I begin work on a book, I start by writing notes by hand in a journal. I keep a journal for every novel I write.
Thanks!

Another question, out of the four main characters in Salt to the Sea, which was your favorite and which was most relatable? I'd like to add that Out of the Easy and Salt to the Sea made me realize my love for historical fiction dive well, and I love how you include such amazing romances that really get to me. Between Shades of Grey is on my to-read list still!
