   Hello! I am a nerdfighter & a huge fan of John’s. Thank you for interviewing him! My questions:

   -Who are your favorite poets?

   -I just read Hamlet for the first time, and loved it! Can you discuss if/how it has influenced you or your books?

   -What will the publishing industry look like in five years? Ten?

   -What advice would you give a person (me!) striving to work in publishing?

   -Why do you think so many people have become so passionate about nerdfighting?

   -Where do you see yourself in ten years?

   -How is Willy doing?

   Thanks again!
