From Jeffrey Eugenides, author of Middlesex, when asked, "What's the best thing about being a writer?":

The best thing is also the worst thing. It's that, no matter how long you've been at it, you always start from scratch.

Barbara O'Connor: I'm a children's book author. My latest book is Wish. Others include The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester, The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis, Greetings from Nowhere, How to Steal a Dog,and Fame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia. In addition to being a six-time winner of the Parents Choice Award, my awards include the Massachusetts Book Award, the South Carolina, Kansas, and South Dakota Children's Book Awards, School Library Journal Best Books, Bank Street College Best Books, and ALA Notables. I've had books on over 38 state reading award lists.
