It traces her move from working as a TV writer toward publishing Gregor the Overlander in 2003, then continuing a yearly writing rhythm and concluding the Underland Chronicles in 2007. The text connects these milestones to the breakthrough popularity of The Hunger Games and explains how readers’ imagination, rather than money, motivates her
