The Hedge School @ Writerscafe Forum Your Favourite Writer

Who was your favourite writer, and why?

My very favorite writer is Lynn Flewelling because she is not only a brilliant world builder whose characters are beautifully real, but she is a very generous soul who is always willing to talk to her fans and give advice and council.

I want to grow up to be just like her. :)

POetry I have to choose Robert Frost he went his own way
literature probably Maurice Walsh who understood life as it was and as it ought to be.
I must read even if only the cornflake packets So many interesting subjects to pursue and so little time to do so
I am a compulsive writer of poetry a dabbler in art with a lasting interest in the antics of my fellow man

::cool:: This one's easy! Ellen Hopkins is the greatest writer of teen literature ever. I've read all the books she's released (a new one's coming out on Aug. 26th, a sequel to her first novel). I think what makes her books so refreshing and wonderful (besides the fact that I feel like she understands teens before she tries to write about them) is they're written in verse! ::happy:: It's wonderful. You ALL should check her out.
