I believe that one of the most damning things about our culture is the adage to never talk religion and politics.

Sometimes when reading aloud to my husband, I'll start crying. It completely stuns me. As if the words in my body and on the page - in relation to each other - are cocooned against my own feelings about what I'm writing until they're loosed in the air and become their own. Then I realize what I may or may not have done.
Julianna Baggott
A good novel doesn't just transcend the boundaries of its target market - it knows nothing about target markets.
Julianna Baggott
I believe we're brutes, but then, miraculously, there are those among us who stand up against that brutishness and remind us of the goodness we're capable of.
Julianna Baggott
I prefer a cluttered workspace.
Julianna Baggott
You learn to exploit genre for the more important things - to my mind - like story, character, image, language.
Julianna Baggott
Weakness, like not being able to bury the past. Weakness, like not giving up hope when you know you should.
Julianna Baggott
