Author - Jodi Picoult
By Ellee M., Boxford, MA
Jodi Picoult has written 13 novels. Her latest is The Tenth Circle. I met her when I was in preschool with her son in New Hampshire. Our families became close and we have kept in touch. I interviewed Ms. Picoult via e-mail.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
In fourth grade, when my teacher gave me an F for an assignment on what we did over the summer. I wrote from the point of view of a piano I’d practiced on and she said she didn’t assign fiction. Of course, she hadn’t assigned nonfiction, either.
Did you want any other jobs growing up?
I dreamed of being a writer, but I never expected to make a living at it.
