Give a book for any occasion! And please post this on your blogs!
If everyone buys a book, authors and readers can save the publishing biz!

- My l0th novel IS THIS TOMORROW (Algonquin Books) is a May Indie Pick! I'm also the New York Times bestselling author of PICTURES OF YOU (Algonquin), which sold to 6 countries, went into 5 printings, and was a San Francisco Chronicle Lit Pick, a Costco "Pennie's Pick" and a NAIBA bestseller. Pictures of You is also a USA Today ebook bestseller and is on the Best Books of 2011 List from San Francisco Chronicle, Providence Journal, Kirkus Reviews and Bookmarks Magazine. It's also one of Kirkus Reviews Top 5 books of 2011 about the Family and love. I'm the recipient of a New York Foundation of the Arts Grant in Fiction. I was a 2013 finalist in the Sundance Screenwriting Lab and a finalist in the Nickelodeon Screenwriting Fellowship, four of my novels were optioned for screen, and I talked my way into writing the script for two of them. My essay, HIgh Infidelity, has been optioned for film. I'm a book critic for The Boston Globe and People Magazine. I teach novel writing for UCLA and Stanford online, do private fiction editing, and I am a professional namer! I live with my husband and son. Visit me at http://www.carolineleavitt.com.

Insightful and note perfect.
This is so true. I cringe every time one of these questions are asked. Why does everyone want to know about the money?

I think because they think all writers get Steven King sized advances. They don't realize that the majority of writers, unless they have a spouse with a really well-paying job or a trust fund ourselves, have to work other jobs as well. When people say, I want to be a writer, they often think of the money, the fame, the TV show stuff-that most often doesn't happen! You don't become a writer because you want money and fame, but because you HAVE to be a writer.
