We asked our authors from around the world to share their thoughts on why they write, why they read, and the books that have influenced them.
Here’s what they had to say.
Tell us why you read and share your favorite books! Join the discussion @HarperCollins on Twitter using #hc200.
I write because it’s something I love doing. I love escaping into another world, creating new characters, getting to know them, letting them take over, following where they lead me, to places I hadn’t expected to go, in directions I hadn’t thought of, into situations I had never imagined. I write because each book, each story is a voyage of discovery—and I don’t have to take the plane to get there!
