Hi everyone!
It is the nature of life, I guess, that there will just be some questions a person (especially an author) hears more than others. For me, the two biggies are about books and movies. As many of you know, I have talked about the subject of movies a lot throughout the years, but new readers often miss those posts.
For that reason, I’ve been wanting to try something for several months now, and I think today is the day. So instead of me writing a whole new entry on a subject I’ve covered before, I’m going to post it anew.
Let’s call it a retro throw-back post.
Let’s start with this post from January 2011.
Enjoy.

HOW MOVIES HAPPEN
originally posted here on January 8, 2011
Write a book–any book–and I promise someone will say “is there going to be a movie?” Or “Why don’t YOU make a movie” (I guess because I bought that Flip video camera…)
There are a lot of misconceptions about the book business, but nothing compares to the misconceptions surrounding the book-to-movie process.
I’ve had three different film options with three different studios/production companies, and yet I still don’t know everything there is to know about how and why movies happen. But I’m going to share with you today what I do know in the hopes that maybe some of these misconceptions might go away for a day or two.
A DISCLAIMER
The very first thing you need to understand is that no two situations
are the same. This is where a lot of
the misconceptions come from, I think.
I say “authors don’t have the power or money to make a movie themselves” and you say but I read James Patterson is doing that!
I say “authors don’t have any input in the casting process” and you say but what about JK Rowling?
I say “authors have no control over the script” and you say but Susanne Collins wrote the screenplay for Hunger Games!
All of these are excpetions to the rule. All of them. And they’re all very good examples of…
TWO KINDS OF OPTIONS
Type 1: If the book is an established blockbuster on the scale of Harry Potter or Twilight when the movie deal is done then that author has far more control than usual because in that situation Hollywood NEEDS THEM.
If, like Susanne Collins, the author has a background in screenwriting then he or she might even get a shot at the script. (note: the Hunger Games script has been given to a Hollywood screenwriter for rewrites.)
These types of blockbusters are, by definition, very rare. So these types of movie deals are even rarer. They are anomolies, outliers, flukes. And they are the function of power and timing. If the deal is done before the book becomes a world-wide phenomenon, then the usual rules will likely apply (because those were the rules when the terms were negotiated.)
Type 2: If the book is not a mega-success at the time it’s negotiated or if the author is not a well-established movie draw (like Nicholas Sparks) then chances are that the author is not in a position of power.
Of course, sometimes there will be multiple studios interested which certainly helps the author, but for the most part things like script approval or producing credits are completely, 100% off the table.
Why? Because we’re book people, not movie people. Also, frankly, because Hollywood already has too many cooks in its kitchen. It takes millions of dollars to make a movie and with that come about a million hoops to jump through and people to please.
As my film agent explained to me during the Heist Society movie auction “No studio is going to invest millions of dollars in something and let the author keep the right to pull the plug on it.”
That’s why script approval is laughable for someone like me. That’s why–with VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS–no author is ever going to be involved in casting.
Really, it all depends on the terms of your…
OPTION
If there is a studio or production company who likes your book and wants to make a movie from it, they can either buy the film rights outright or they can “option” the film rights.
A film option is like putting the book in layaway. They aren’t buying the right to make it into a movie; they’re buying the right to THINK ABOUT making it into a movie.
They don’t have to make it–not at all. But they have a set period of time (usually a year or 18 months) to think about it and, most importantly, work on a…
SCRIPT
The script is king.
It doesn’t matter how well a book is doing; it doesn’t matter how awesome a book is; what matters in terms of getting a movie made is getting a script that people like and are willing to sign off on.
Because until the script is right, then there’s nothing to take to…
TALENT
This is one more example of how things in this process can and will vary. After all, sometimes books are optioned with some kind of talent “attached” to the project. (Example: Miley Cyrus was attached to WINGS very early on.)
Sometimes the book is optioned with no talent officially attached and, instead, the producers will get the script just right then possibly take it to directors and then the director will work on casting.
There is no right way or best way or “guaranteed” way to get a movie made. Hollywood is not Oz. There are a whole lot of yellow brick roads and every one of them–every. single. one–is at the mercy of…
HEAT and TIMING
Let’s say there’s a really great script based on your favorite book… Let’s say there’s an actress who is amazingly talented, very charismatic, and utterly perferct for the role… So that actress is going to get the role, right?
Maybe. Maybe not. You see, if that actress is already booked up for the next three years, then odds are the studio isn’t going to wait on her.
Or maybe they can get their first choice actress but only at the same time as their third choice leading man?
Maybe your favorite actress had a movie bomb last weekend and the studio now sees her as box office Kryptonite?
Maybe the studio has three projects in the pipeline with another actress, so they’re far more concerned with making HER a big star…
What most people fail to see is that movies aren’t magic. Movies are very expensive investments and very practical endeavors. The producers, executives, and people in charge are going to make their decisions off of more than hair color, is what I’m trying to say.
Who’s hot?
Who’s cold? Who’s getting good buzz for a project that no one has seen
yet and who had a movie that tanked overseas? These are just a few of the factors that will go into the decision. And besides, the odds of the right director, the perfect
actress, the ideal location and leading man all being
available at the exact same time are pretty rare.
Talent matters, don’t get me wrong. But it seems to me that availablity and heat matter more.
SO WHY OPTION ANYTHING IF YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE FINISHED PRODUCT?
I can’t speak for every author, so I’ll just speak for myself.
I love movies. And walking into a dark theater and watching one of my stories up there on the screen is a dream I’ve had for ages. Do I want that movie to be GOOD? Of course. Do I personally have the power to make a movie happen (good, bad or otherwise)? No. I just don’t. And very, very, very few authors ever do.
The other reason most authors are willing to option their material is simple: a movie is basically a 2 hour commercial for the book. And
it’s in most author’s best interest to give the books the chance for that kind of
exposure.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Movies are made by hundreds of people doing just as many different jobs. And the odds of any movie getting made are oh-so-incredibly rare.
Of the writers I know, a fairly big percentage (I’d say maybe 75 or 80%) have things under option in Hollywood. Only a few will ever see anything actually made. Even once they finish a script and start talking to directors or signing stars, there are still a ton of factors that have to fall into place.
Basically, the odds of getting a movie made are long. The odds of getting a GOOD movie made are miniscule.
But we keep trying…
We keep trying all the time.
-Ally
It’s amazing how little of this we realise when we just see the film in the cinema. Thank you, Ally, for explaining the process to us all once more.
And I also wanted to say that I’ve recently read ‘Out of Sight, Out of Time’ (I’m a UK fan, it hasn’t been out for that long over here) and I absolutely LOVED it. Seriously. It’s so, SO good, and (even though I’m not really the type to have favourites) I think it’s my favourite in the series so far.
I can’t say it enough times (so I’ll just say it once): WELL DONE, AND THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!
M
Oh, and congratulations on getting your swimming pool! And best of luck for Heist 3!
Hello M,
I’m From The U.K too and I totally agree with you! It is amazing how much a movie and the book (and everything to go with it) has to go through! Keep waiting Ally! One day, your books will me big movies
Adrianna x
Hey I wanted to ask you ( coz I live in London too) but I was wondering if you’ve read uncommon criminals yet??
Well , uncommon criminals in hard back is out already, but for some reason a lot of bookshops aren’t stocking it!!??? The paperback comes out in July and is quite a lot cheaper!
I personally am waiting for the paperback knowing that I can spen the leftover money on heist 3, plus if you get it online there are addittional postage costs
Hope this helps !
Ps if you can be patient ( and believe me I know it’s hard) you might get a better deal in the long run , or, failing that , the book will be even better because of the time we have waited!
I can’ t wait to read it!!!!!!!
Looool you’re telling me about patience well believe it or not I haven’t bought theory of sight out of time yet Ikr I still can’t believe I’m actually waiting till my exams are over then I’m actually going to read it soo I guess it’s alright that it’s coming out in June and thnx it’s helped
* out not theory
Yeah, I was just a little bit confused as to why it said ‘theory of sight out of time’.
Wow I admire your self control!!!!
you will love it i have already and it is AMAZING can’t wait for the next one
Hey people. so if you have a kindle you could just get it on there. it’s way way cheaper! Trust me!!!!! Although i wish you could get the sereis as a set because my mom is currently yelling at me because she keeps getting all of these individual payments
I know, none of the bookshops seem to be stocking uncommon criminals in england, it’s really annoying.
I got t6o borrow it from the library and it was free, but it isn’t YOURS TO KEEP
neva mind, im saving up to buy gg6
That’s why the best movie is sometimes played in our mind!
I totally agree! Sometimes I’m afraid that a movie based off of a great book series like Gallagher Girls or Heist Society might not live up to the standards of the books themselves. Either way it still would be pretty cool if a movie did come out.
Can’t wait for the 3rd Heist Society book! I just got finished reading Uncommon Criminals – it was great!
~Emma
I do think it would be awesome if it was a movie, but I don’t want Ally to just OK any script. I hate when movies ruin books… No offense but that’s what happened to me a Twilight lol. I just hope that if a GG or Heist movie comes out, that it’s as good as all the books(:
-Carly
i would <3 it if a movie came out but i just sometimes wish that it didn't come out!
Totally agree !!!
Sometimes when I watch the Harry Potter Films I find myself going ‘hang on they have missed a bit’ before I realize that the bit I have ‘missed’ was never actually in the film in the first place, it was in my head!
I love how vividly you can picture the story when you are engrossed in a book that has been written so well you find it hard to stop yourself slipping into the authors world .
Ps ally you are one of these authors and I hope that if they ever make a gg movie it will live up to the standard of the books!
i know right
Movie of no movie your books are still the best!!
I saw a fan trailer on youtube on the gallagher Girls starring Emma Roberts as Cammie, Brigit mendler as Liz, adn some other people. They were in costumes and they had a set and everything. Ally, you said your book has not been made into a movie. OMG I Have no clue what was that trailer I watched then?
here aresome links from youtube that I saw. PLease answer me and help me! All is appreciated!
Anyone!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTokHWds6rc
Well the first clip is a bunch of movies clipped together, so . . . yeah. One is from Bratz the other is Pretty Little Liars and so on and so forth.
The second one is a trailer/clips of another movie but is just a big coincidence that the characters match up and they have spy-ish things going on in the movie.
Haha that’s awesome! I always thought of Aunt Abby more as Diane Kruger in National Treasure though… And NO NO NO Zach is NOT Logan Lerman! Lol
what was percy jackson doing there?????
the third video was more real to me and it looked like it was from an actual movie
So, which one was it, so i can watch it, of course
lolo
I never like (with the exception of the Hunger Games
) movies of books I read because I always have this picture in my mind of exactly what everything looks like and sounds like but it is NEVER the same. It drives me crazy!!! I think however, that if your books were made into movies they would be epic enough I wouldn’t care if they were different from what I thought they would be like.
Same here,whenever I read a book I have a picture in my head of how it all looks!
But if the gg books were made into movies they would be awesome and I wouldn’t care if they were different!
P.S Good luck on HS3!
When I read the title I thought it said ‘Retro Throwdown’ which is something that has been happening a lot between the teachers at my school lately. My computer teacher and the orchestra teacher had a track runner showdown and the home-ec teacher and drama teacher had a ’70s dancer-girl showdown.
The computer teacher and the drama teaacher won.
What kind of school do YOU go to? I am soooo enrolling there! Lol
Love Zavh too. Which someone like him moved to my school. IWOULD LLLLOOOOOVVVVEEEEE SNEAKING AWAY WITH HIM!
I go to public school.
Hey Ally, so I was wondering, i know you’ve mentioned the heist society being questioned for a movie and how they’d age up the characters. Is that getting any farther? Oh and i know you don’t have much say in this anyways. but i don’t think that aging them is necessarily a bad thing but i think it’s cool that Kat and Hale and the gang are around our age because we feel we can relate more in some ways. I think them being teens is what makes them so extra ordinary.
I LOVE all your books! i’ve read every single one and have re-read all of the Gallagher Girl books! LoVe YoU AlLy!!!!!
Oh my gosh! I totally remember this post! Oh…good times…gooood times. Your so awesome, Ally. I cannot believe I haave been obsessed with your books for about 2 years now! Thats how amazing of a writer you are. How do you do it?
Thanks for the clarifications Ally!! I can’t tell anyone how much I want to see an Ally Carter book on the big screen. Best of luck!!!!
i know. no one i know knows about the gg’s! grrr
Yay! HOPEFULLY i get to see my FAV books on the big screen!
i think the authors should have more control over it. and i would love for the gallagher series or heist society series to be made into movies they would be the best! i would watch every single one of them over and over just like i kept reading the books!
Wow I admire your self- control!!!!
Thnx tbh I can’t believe it either
Just so you know, i would just like to say i appreciate everything you do ally carter one day in library i had no book to get and everyone liked your books so i decided to try them and now your my favorite author ,you change my life .
sincerely ,
KiKi
CONGRATS
same here love the gg books going to try the hs books next
Ally-
I hope you get to make a movi(for the Gallagher girl series)!!!!!!! If you do please tell me because im a huge fan and one of the best actors at my school and would so want to try out for Cammie, Bex, Macey, or Liz. And while im here you should write another Gallagher book made!!!!!! I was soo excited when I was at my schools book fair and saw “Out of sight, Out of time.” I was so excited and i bought it write away and started to read it even though I was in the middle of a different book. I read that series over about 10 times!!!!! i cant wait to see if it becomes a movie or at least theres another book….PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your biggest fan
-Kyra
I should so be casted as Bex if you make the movie. I’m gorgeous and their age for the start of the movie. I’ll totally kick butt as an actor. I’ve also got the adventerous Bex attitude.
tell me to i would love to try out for any ANY charater
I believe any of us (GG fans) that love to act would like to audition at least! So please try to push it as a movie! You have inspired so many. Let us pay you back for your work and try to make a wonderful movie off your series
well i personally am not too great at acting but i would still try out. if i was in a gg movie that would be insane!!!!! i would probably be a good eva but i dont really know what she looks like. i have a friend named eva who is short and has shoulder length black hair and bangs. i always think that she is the eva in the books. ally, what does she look like? anyway i am nothing like that, tall, brown hair, no bangs, and it’s longer. please tell me how eva looks ally!
Hey Ally,
I LOVe your Gallagher Girl series so much!! I read “Out of Sight, Out of Time” in les than a day it was soo good. I really hope that you get to make your series into a movie. I would totally go see it. I hope you will write another book. I’m dying to know whats happens to everyone. I love you books and keep up the good work:)
Chloe
I read the last two books in less than 12 hours. i was so sad there wasn’t more. And depressed I didn`t drag out the read. gg is my favorite book by far!
Grrr I so wish people would make a GG movie
can you write a blog about how many books you want to do in the future? plz do im so into the books…i love zach! but sometimes i expect him to do more romantic stuff…i hope thats in book 6th if your gonna make one !!
I love Zach so much. Zach sooo should do some more romantic stuff! Wish I could go to a spy school, of course without getting hurt in anyway or being punished. I was addicted to the books I read everywhere, during school 3 in the morning, playing sports, girls scouts, everywhere! some of my friends call me crazy or a nerd for reading the book so much! I didn’t care, all i wanted to do was finish reading. I know you don’t want a non pro giving you advice. Buuuutttt please let Cammie have children instead of ending the series. We could read all about her child’s life because I really really don’t want the series to end. And please find a way to do a movie or television series. I was astounded and flabbergasted at you informing us how hard it is to make a movie. But as an author Ally you should know there’s always a way. Please make it happen. When I’m older I’m going to make sure my kids pass down all of your books to their children and make my family pass down your books for generations. An addict of your really wants you to feel the void of romance, butt-kicking and action that I can only dream of having in my own textbook, predictable, boring world.
1. zach seems cute but is more mean than romantic to cammie in my opinion
2.who would cammie have kids with? zach? i think that in real life she would probably end up with someone else
3.slight spoiler alert! do not read ahead if u have not read book 5. was preston flirting with cammie?? or is he still ‘with’ macey, if you can even call it that. i think they might end up together forever.
4. there is always a way.
My dream goal is to play the character Cammie Morgan. One of my favorite books!
If one of Ally’s Nooks were made into a movie I would go to see it… but with impossibly low expectations. I hate movies based off of books, because it makes me feel like there is a lack of creativity in the movie making industry. However, there is no denying that a movie based on one of Ally’s books would be awesome; it would have to be considering how AMAZING her books are.
^ OMG these comments are so cool
everyone LOVES <3 gallagher girls!
perhaps you should show this to a director so there can finally be a movie everyones been waiting for!!!!
You are so right it might work!!!!!_
I did not know either but I bet on book will be a movie!!!!
I really hope Heist Society or GG will be made into a movie. I read that if you did make a Heist Society movie then you would have to “Age-Up” the Characters so that they would appeal more to the general public. I do agree with that (even though the idea of teenage criminals is way cool) because it would also open a wide variety of Actors and Actresses. But with that bieng said, it will still be very diffcult to find a good match for each character. So far I have only found 1 person who I think would be AMAZING for the role of Kat: Ashley Green.
Its already proven that she could rock the short hair look, and she is a great actress.
Hope you guys agree
So does this mean there is going to be a movie of one of your books coming out soon.
I love Zach so much. Zach sooo should do some more romantic stuff! Wish I could go to a spy school, of course without getting hurt in anyway or being punished. I was addicted to the books I read everywhere, during school 3 in the morning, playing sports, girls scouts, everywhere! some of my friends call me crazy or a nerd for reading the book so much! I didn’t care, all i wanted to do was finish reading. I know you don’t want a non pro giving you advice. Buuuutttt please let Cammie have children instead of ending the series. We could read all about her child’s life because I really really don’t want the series to end. And please find a way to do a movie or television series. I was astounded and flabbergasted at you informing us how hard it is to make a movie. But as an author Ally you should know there’s always a way. Please make it happen. When I’m older I’m going to make sure my kids pass down all of your books to their children and make my family pass down your books for generations. An addict of your really wants you to feel the void of romance, butt-kicking and action that I can only dream of having in my own textbook, predictable, boring world.
Yes! a series about her child would be awesome! Or her life in the future?
If I had a time machine I would go to 2014 to see Heist Sociaty on the big screen. It must be done (the movie,not the time machine, well…, the time machine also has to be done, it would be useful), people are going to love it. I alredy can imagine my friend asking me the book after (o before) seen the film
I love Ally’s books. I have to choose for what I want to be when I grow up: Writer, Singer, Actress, or CIA agent. I have decided not to chose for now. Ally has greatly inspired me. I would love to do a mini movie of some of her books with my friends and post it on youtube. We made a pretend Acting Agency. My sis rights the scripts, I edit. We all act in the movies. I do hope a professional movie is made though
sosososososo cool i wish it wasnt that hard though the books were amazing sososososososososososo many more people would wach the movie
If you ever do make a GG movie, I think I would be the perfect Liz!! I’m blonde, tiny, and I’m pretty smart too…. Ever since I read the books I’ve wanted to live it soo badly! Even if I don’t get a chance to audition, I think the movie will be amazing if it’s ever made. I’ve got my fingers crossed something will happen soon!! Love your books!!!
I could be a good cammie, im average size , brown hair , blue eyes and im not too skinny or fat!
I had no idea how many steps it takes to make a movie. Also, how LONG it must take. I would like to thank you for informing us of that. =)
I love your works, and would personally be extremely delighted to see them on the big screen. I really do hope that the Gallagher Girls series gets made into a movie. If they did a television show, that would ruin . . . everything.
Once again, I love your books, and thank you!
Dear ally,
I absolutely love your series! I think it’s one on my favorite books of all time! You have inspired me so much as a writer. I’m so in love with the gg series I have dreams about it(one of them about Mr.Solomon was actually really weird.) I love acting too! My goal in life is to play the role of Macey in a movie. Thank you so much for all of your hard work on the series, whom without I do not know what I would do or think about half of the time. I’ve only read the first heist society but it’s really good. Again I just want to thank you, you have literally inspired me in many ways!
love the gg books soo want a movie i would try to be macey or cam why did you make her a chamlon plz tell us maybe you could call it Gallagher Girls: Behind Our Walls or The Story of Gallagher Girls it would be so cool if you made a movie about them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heyy if you need someone to be in the movie if you ever get the change to make it pppplllzzzzz call me id do ANYTJING TO BE IN A GALLAGHER GIRL MOVIE ITS MY NEW DREAM AND HOPE IT COMES TRUE SO PLZZ CALL ME PPPLLLZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IIIIIIIIII LLLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE GALLAGHET GIRL BOOKS NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if you didn’t have control, I’d still watch the movie
! Your books are amazing no matter what. Even if you don’t have control, send a red alert if they say they want to have a casting audition.I know there are aton of us kids who feel like chameleons in school!
Um… just wondering… are you going to tell us when and where auditions are if the Gallagher Girls series becomes a movie?
you should tell us
Yea you got to tell us we need to knw
I’m really glad you re-posted this. I had no idea how it worked! Being an actress myself, I’ve dreamed of having a part in the making of a GG movie. However I know you have little to no say in it all. I just hope someone decides to make the movie and does a casting call. Cross my fingers!!
yes!!! please!!!!!!! please please please!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great to know, especially because I missed the first post-ah it would be so amazing to get into any movie but to get into gg or heist would be AMAZING
Hi Ally! I know you said that you don’t have much say in casting, that is if you make it a movie, but would you be able to post it on here that you are having auditions for your movie? It is literally MY DREAM to play Cammie for years! I read the books all the time, and even act out some stuff as her in front of my friends and family to get there input. People say I’m a lot like her, and that I would make an awesome Cammie. I would love to at least audition! Thanks so much!
Gabby, I’m the same way!!! I used to think Cammie was written for me! Now I don’t exactly have the right shape for her but I would love to have any part!
I agree with Gabby. Please tell us if there is a casting.
Ally, I love you and your books so much… But I am also a die hard Tribute (we need a name like that too!) and it’s spelled Suzanne…. With a “z” not an “s”
Love ya and thanks!

I know you say that the movie process is a big thing. But I’m a HUGE fan of the GG series and I can’t wait for the next book but I’m also sad that it’ll be the last. So I was hoping some time in the future Cammie, Bex, Liz, Macey, and Zach will come to life on the big screen! Please tell me you can try?? I love this series and think it would a great movie or tv show!! I love to act as well and in my professional and personal opion I think it would make an wonderful show! And if done right all GG fans will support it and others will want to read your books!! But I only have one comment on if it does become a movie please pick better actors than Twilight!! I don’t wish to be rude to anyone who likes twilight but I know a few actors, and like myself they aren’t famous, and they would be my choice for some thing like this!! People who can act soooooo much better than them. Again I don’t wish to be or sound rude but I’ve been either tought very poorly or very well when I say you need someone who can display the emotion form your book on the screen. It would be a dream to see it on screen or even a bigger dream to be apart of the process. Since the series is my fav. book series. Thank you for reading my post.
One more thing I can say is that anyone of us here (thing being my personal opion and sadly can not go for everyone when I say this) would call and email someone can make your books a movie telling them their crazy not to want to do this and do it right! I believe (again my personal opion) we all would support you and would willingly show Hollywood what an amazing thing they have that’s about to slip out of their hands. But I do have another question why can’t the script be the book? Of course a few scene would have to good but the book is (and should be) the script! I, myself, want a chance to be a part of your book even if that means movie.
Thank you for reading my post
I LOVE the Galagher books. I especually love the characters. Ally Carter is an amazing writer. I LOVE her writing. And i would also love if the Galagher books were a movie, but that takes time. I know that. So what i say is that if she is going to make into movies she should try to go for new actors and actresses(like me) to be in her movies. I am a young actress and i have always wanted to be a spy so i think i should at least get a shot and if i do get a part(Hopefully cammie, bex, or macey) i will asure everyonr that i willl be amazing
Like i said i LOVE the Galagher books and can’t wait to read the sixth book of the series, i know it is going to just as amazing as the first five maybe even better….
I know a LOT of us would wait a MILLION years to see a GG movie. Hollywood is missing out. Big time.
totally true. i would even watch it when I’m 100 years old. i hope one comes out before that. btw ally r u even interested in showbiz? i hope so but if not u should say cuz we r kinda pressuring u.
OMG thank u ally! i just read out of sight out of time! i was waiting for it for like a year but it was worth the wait! all ur books are awesome and i am sososososososososo excited for the 6th gg book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would you maybe keep writing them if you ever get a sudden idea cuz i think i would die without any new gg books coming. i guess i could read ur other books but still. thank u for being such a wonderful writer u r my favorite now!
I can’t wait, what happens after the book, that was based on the Gallagher series and the heist series. I wonder if Cammie, will beat the Circle and have a service for her father. THIS SERIES IS SOOOOOOO EPICCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait for the next book!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Ally,
Your books are absolutely amazing! Ive read mostly all of them! Heist society and Gallagher girls. Are you going to write more sequels? Because me and a load of other people would be so happy! Can’t wait to read any more books you’ve written! Must keep writing, cos your awesome
Yeah, forgot to add i can act so maybe if a film comes out…? i could b considered? acting and drama is like the best thing that could happen to me!
i love the books and cant wait for GG6 to come out !!! i am a U.K fan and so it will be out later here
Ally Carter you are an inspiration to me x. i have been in bad situations where i hated life but thanks to you and the gallagher books i am happier xx i would love to be cammie her life is so amazing and honestly who wouldnt want to be her ? i am kind of like cammie in the sense of i think others are always better than me. i just want to say again that you really have changed my perspective xx
Thank You
Yours Sincerly
