Rachel, hi! Your books are magic. I have read all of three of them — Bring Me Your Midnight being my absolute favorite, with Wild is the Witch following close. I have loved them so much that I still dream about your characters often. I literally cannot wait for your next novel. I am hoping with all my heart that it comes out soon. I keep checking your page to see if there are any updates? haha
Rachel Griffin Oh, this is so nice! Thank you so much for reading. I'm currently working on my next novel, which is releasing next year! So not necessarily soon, but I do think it will be worth the wait. :)

Hi Rachel! No spoilers, but can we hope for an eventual sequel to Wild is the Witch?
Rachel Griffin Hi there! Probably not; I wrote WILD as a standalone, and I still view it as one. For me, the book ended where it needed to, and while I think Iris and Pike have a lot left on their journey, this was the part of their story I wanted to tell. Thank you for wanting to read more, though! I'm honored. (And while I don't see a sequel at this time, I can definitely see writing a scene from them in the future for a preorder campaign or something like that. <3)

Hi Rachel! I loved Bring Me Your Midnight and can't wait to read your previous novels. I was wondering if you have anything new in the works? Thanks!
Rachel Griffin Thank you so much! I'm currently working on my next young adult novel, and I'm hoping to be able to share more about it soon.

Hi Rachel, I loved The Nature of Witches and was wondering whether you would ever write another novel that returns to that universe?
Rachel Griffin Hi there! I'd never say never, but I don't have any plans to return to that world at the moment. I would have to come up with the right idea, but if I did, I wouldn't be opposed to it! Thanks so much for reading, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Is the reference "A Season for Everything" an actual book? If so, who is the author? I am listening to the audiobook and love those quotes. Id love to read that too.
Rachel Griffin Hi Nikki! A Season for Everything is a fictional book I made up for The Nature of Witches. Read to the end and you'll find out how it fits into the story!

Hi Rachel! As an aspiring author who has been writing for a long time, I was wondering if you have any tips for big revisions that can feel overwhelming. You mention on your website that you almost completely rewrote THE NATURE OF WITCHES - what did you do when you felt overwhelmed, or stuck, or just tired of working on the book over and over again? How did you go about the revision process? Thanks!
Rachel Griffin Hi there! For me, when I'm about to embark on a big revision, I need two things: first, to have a strong vision for what I'll be changing, and second, to be excited by those changes. If I have those two things, I find that they can sustain me through the revision when I'm tired, overwhelmed, or unmotivated. As for how I tackle the revision itself, I have some posts on my website that outline my process!

Here's my full revision process: https://www.rachelgriffinbooks.com/po...

And here's how I write myself an edit letter:

I hope this helps!!
