Great books inspire great writing. Without further ado, the books that push me to be my creative best…
SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson… This is the first YA book I ever bought. I read it yeeeeeears ago, when I was about 22. Though I can’t remember the details, I do remember the issue and feeling like this was a very real story that could have happened to me. After reading SPEAK, I vowed to make everything I wrote, even fantasy stories, feel this true.
