John Corey Whaley Knew Quotations

I grew up in a little town with about 6,000 or 7,000 people. I always knew from 11 or 12 years old that I wanted to be a writer, and I always wanted to write about growing up in a place like that that's small and you don't fit into.

In the middle of my fourth year teaching is when I got my book contract - in 2010. I knew the book would come out in May 2011.
