Brittany asked Charles Finch:

How long did it take you to write your first book?

Charles Finch GREAT question. I suppose the answer is two different ones - about three years, then about three months. I spent three years writing the wrong book, then realized what the right one was, and after that it all got so easy. I don't know if every writer has to cycle through a lot of mistakes before their first book, but I did...

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond! Only seeing these questions now! Happiest of holidays.
