Mr. Degen, thank you for that.
Ms. McNicoll, I want to go to you now and thank you for your books. I have nieces and a daughter who quite enjoy them, so thank you so very much.
I have a question, though, because you talked about future voices. You talked about a granddaughter who you said wants to be a writer, but that you'll tell her she should get into law instead. To me, that is heartbreaking, because we need more creative people. We need more writers in our country. Writers are to be celebrated at every turn, and I'm not just saying that because I'm one too; I believe that to my core.
Tell me more about what you're seeing with regard to young people, the young voices, outside of your granddaughter, people who I am sure you have talked to, readers of your books. Tell me more about where things stand with them, because what happens right now directly impacts them and will into the future.
