A Q&A with Author Veronica Roth
Q: What advice would you offer to young aspiring writers,
who long to live a success story like your own?Roth: One piece of advice I have is: Want something else more than success. Success is a lovely thing, but your desire to say something, your worth, and your identity shouldn’t rely on it, because it’s not guaranteed and it’s not permanent and it’s not sufficient. So work hard, fall in love with the writing—the characters, the story, the words, the themes—and make sure that you are who you are regardless of your life circumstances. That way, when the good things come, they don’t warp you, and when the bad things hit you, you don’t fall apart.
Q: You’re a young author--is it your current adult perspective or not-so-recent teenage perspective that brought about the factions in the development of this story? Do you think that teens or adults are more likely to fit into categories in our current society?
Roth: Other aspects of my identity have more to do with the factions than my age. The faction system reflects my beliefs about human nature—that we can make even something as well-intentioned as virtue into an idol, or an evil thing. And that virtue as an end unto itself is worthless to us. I did spend a large portion of my adolescence trying to be as “good” as possible so that I could prove my worth to the people around me, to myself, to God, to everyone. It’s only now that I’m a little older that I realize I am unable to be truly “good” and that it’s my reasons for striving after virtue that need adjustment more than my behavior. In a sense, Divergent is me writing through that realization—everyone in Beatrice’s society believes that virtue is the end, the answer. I think that’s a little twisted.
I think we all secretly love and hate categories—love to get a firm hold on our identities, but hate to be confined—and I never loved and hated them more than when I was a teenager. That said: Though we hear a lot about high school cliques, I believe that adults categorize each other just as often, just in subtler ways. It is a dangerous tendency of ours. And it begins in adolescence.
Q: If you could add one more faction to the world within Divergent, what would it be?
Roth: I tried to construct the factions so that they spanned a wide range of virtues. Abnegation, for example, includes five of the traditional “seven heavenly virtues:” chastity, temperance, charity, patience, and humility. That said, it would be interesting to have a faction centered on industriousness, in which diligence and hard work are valued most, and laziness is not allowed. They would be in constant motion, and would probably be happy to take over for the factionless. And hard-working people can certainly take their work too far, as all the factions do with their respective virtues. I’m not sure what they would wear, though. Overalls, probably.
Q: What do you think are the advantages, if any, to the society you’ve created in Divergent?
Roth: All the advantages I see only seem like advantages to me because I live in our current society. For example, the members of their society don’t focus on certain things: race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc. I mean, a world in which you look different from the majority and no one minds? That sounds good to me. But when I think about it more, I realize that they’re doing the exact same thing we do, but with different criteria by which to distinguish ourselves from others. Instead of your skin color, it’s the color of your shirt that people assess, or the results of your aptitude test. Same problem, different system.
Q: What book are you currently reading and how has it changed you, if at all?
Roth: I recently finished Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma, which I would call “contemporary with a paranormal twist,” or something to that effect. It’s about a girl whose sister has a powerful kind of magnetism within the confines of a particular town, and how their love for each other breaks some things apart and puts other things back together. It was refreshing to read a young adult book that is about sisterhood instead of romance. It’s one of those books that makes you love a character and then hate a character and then love them again—that shows you that people aren’t all good or all bad, but somewhere in between. Imaginary Girls gave me a lot to think about, and the writing was lovely, which I always love to see.

Gr 9 Up-In the dystopian Chicago setting of Roth's novel (Katherine
Tegen Bks., 2011), the population is divided into five factions. Upon declaring
allegiance to one of them, 16-year-old Beatrice will decide her future.
Beatrice and her brother, Caleb, grew up in helpful, unassuming Abnegation,
always putting others first. During her aptitude testing, a simulation probes
her suitability for Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Rather
than getting a clear reading of her strengths, Beatrice's result is disturbing
and dangerous: she is Divergent. At the choosing ceremony, the teenager
impulsively joins Dauntless, the tattooed "hellions" whose value is
bravery, and who protect the community. Beatrice, now called Tris, finds she
feels brilliantly alive in Dauntless, even during the brutal training. She
enjoys seeing her muscles harden, testing her courage, protecting the underdog,
and working her way up the ranks of recruits. Making both friends and enemies,
she moves through simulations tailored to trigger her Fear Landscape.
Gradually, her Divergence shows itself, allowing Tris to see that the
faction-dominated world isn't as wonderful as she has been told. The likeable
characters, excellent pacing, and blooming romance will have listeners hooked.
Emma Galvin's youthful voice has a twinge of huskiness that lends itself to
voicing both young men and women. The audiobook will be very popular, so
library patrons will have to be careful considering the packaging: a
lightweight box and foldout sleeves. You might want to purchase the audio
download instead.-Maggie Knapp, Trinity Valley School, Fort Worth, TXα(c)

Email marketing is the process of generating sales via email. It is one of the oldest
forms of online marketing and still is one of the most effective ways of doing it out there.
I still get emails all the time from people trying to sell me stuff from affiliate marketers
all the way up to big chain stores sending me online flyers. That goes to show you that
email marketing is a very popular and effective way of marketing. A lot of people get the
idea that it’s spam mail or junk email marketing, but it’s not. Email marketing is
definitely not pyramid marketing either. Today I’m going to be talking about what it
really is and some tips you could use when you’re email marketing.
Good and effective email marketing speaks to the specific or general interests of the
receiver. This means that the person getting the emails from you is interested in
something you have to offer. For example, if they signed up with emails about horses,
you’re sending them emails about horses and horse products. You’re not sending them
emails about roller skates. The more specific the interest of the people you’re targeting
the better it is for email marketing.
Another aspect of good email marketing is that the receiver has “opted-in” to accept
emails from you. This means that the people receiving your emails have given you their
email address and their permission for you to send them emails. Effective email
marketing is not about a collection of random email addresses that you found or bought
off the web. Email marketing is about getting people that like what you’re saying to give
you their email addresses to hear more.
Email marketing can be much more personal than any other type of online marketing
because you can personalize it to the people receiving it by having it show their first and
last names. You can also use it to be a direct connection between you and the people you
