AUTHOR Q & A

An interview with Jonathan Hill author of Tales of a Seventh-Grade Lizard Boy

Q. What is the inspiration for this story?

A. This story is inspired by a couple of things – my family’s experience as Vietnamese immigrants and the challenges they faced trying to adapt to living in America. The questions of how to fit in and what gets lost trying to fit in. It’s also inspired by the idea of media and how harmful its portrayal of different people can impact those people.

Q. Is there a specific message you want to share?

A. I think we all wear masks in different ways to fit in. Some people who are different from the dominant culture really struggle with being who they want to be and the person they are wearing their masks to be accepted. I just want people to be as accepting and empathetic as they can be towards everyone and make it safe so people can be themselves. We are B R O D A R T L I T E L I T T L E O N E C ATA L O G

better – the world is better – when everyone can share who they are and we can learn and grow from each other.

Q. What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?

A. The writing! It’s like a giant puzzle that you have to make the pieces from your own brain and then try to piece them all together.

Sometimes you make pieces that won’t work, or you have trouble finding that specific piece.

Q. What is your writing process like?

A. So the writing is different than any other work that I do because so much of it is just pure thinking.

It’s making up those puzzle pieces.

It’s SO HARD. When’s the last time you just sat and really, really worked your brain out and just THOUGHT? Not to mix metaphors, but it’s also like being lost in the woods where

you have to tread a path to see if it’s the way out, sometimes it is, but sometimes it isn’t, and you have to backtrack. But you wouldn’t know it wasn’t the right path if you didn’t follow it.

Q. How long have you been writing?

A. I think I have been writing and telling stories my whole life.

As a kid my friends and I would come up with characters (that were blatant rip-offs of other tv shows or movies we watched) and we would play out different stories for those characters. It wasn’t until I got to college that I seriously thought about how I would be an actual author.

Jonathan Hill is the creator of Odessa and the cocreator of Americus and Science Comics: Wild Weather: Storms, Meteorology, and Climate. An Ignatz Award–nominated graphic novelist, illustrator, and educator, he lives in Portland, Oregon.
