Jennifer Weiner Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. "Don't pick it." My Mom told me that, and it applies to any number of situations. Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. That women's fiction is still -- still! -- considered less worthy than the stuff men writer. And that's if it's considered at all. Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero? A. Linda Voss, from Susan Isaac's SHINING THROUGH, a secretary-turned-spy who saves the world and gets the guy. Q. What is your greatest achievement? A. I think I'm supposed to say something about my children or my books here, but honestly, any morning that I wake up and find that I've successfully charged the various electronic devices that I'll need, that's a good day. Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing? A. I love to read, I like to cook, and I love hanging out with my daughters. Learn more about Jennifer Weiner
