(Brought to you by Fukui Chapter and Materials Writer SIG. Interview conducted by Fukui Chapter President, Robert Dykes)

Andy Boon has written more than a dozen graded readers ranging from ghost stories to self-help. Robert Dykes is approaching this interview as someone who is interested in getting into the graded reader industry. Andy has worked with multiple publishers and not every proposal ended up a finished product, but Andy has had far more successes than failures. Robert will pick his brain about every step of the process and what we can expect when trying to get our first graded reader published.
