Author Interview: Maggie Stiefvater

By: Vocab Gal

I have been thinking about when my tough students will "buy in" to learning vocabulary, and I think what is most important is having teen celebrities celebrate words.
So I decided to begin a quest to interview famous teen authors about when, how and why they use vocabulary.  I truly am over the moon about my first interview!

It doesn't get much bigger than Maggie Stiefvater, the uberfamous, 40-weeks-on-the-best-seller list, her-books-have-been-translated-into-over-30-languages author of The Wolves of Mercy Falls series (and other books too!). 

Maggie's also amazingly wonderful and agreed to let me ask her some questions even though she is in the middle of a 37,000 mile book tour and, oh yeah, her air-conditioning just went out in St. Louis, where it is a mere 105 degrees.  

Teachers, enjoy sharing with your students, the following video -which they will enjoy whether or not they have read Maggie's books, but may be inspired to go out and read them, once they hear her speak!

Thanks also to Maggie for being the best author I could possibly kick off my series with and for your excellent answers to my questions.
