sofia asked Stuart Gibbs:

Hello Mr. Gibbs, I love the Charlie Thorne and Spy School series and think that you are an amazing author. I was wondering if any of the places or experiences have a sentimental signifgance to you? I love to write and I live near Washington DC so I like to write about things that I've done in or around there. I was just curious if more professional writers do that. I hope you have a nice day.

Stuart Gibbs Usually, the reason I pick the locations is driven more by plot than sentimental significance -- but if I know a place well and it has significant meaning to me, then I am much more likely to use it as a location than a place I don't know well and or have never been to.
