Eleanor Brown
“Every week, my mailbox explodes with magazines—National
Geographic, the New
Yorker, O, and People. My mental image of the characters in The
Weird Sisters came from an
advertisement for a bank. One of the story lines was sparked by a personal essay
on being pregnant and dating. When I start a new project, I read magazines,
folding down corners and tearing out pages. Flipping back through the clippings
reminds me of where my ideas came from, and encourages me to remain open to
inspiration no matter the source.”

author of The Weird Sisters (Amy Einhorn Books, 2011)
