She chose her life story, but with different names and characters. She chose to maintain a reality, but keep the distance between hers and the text. When writing her first book, her editor, Tay Hohoff, guided Nelle through the successful two and a half years of re-writing and improving. Finally, in July of nineteen sixty, Lee’s first book was published in which she decided to title herself as “Harper Lee”, leaving out “Nelle”. As she continued with writing and a continuously growing friendship with Truman, she followed him to Kansas where they researched and pursued Truman’s dreams of writing a novel. He too accomplished his own piece where Harper guided him just as he did her. Her interests stayed in murders, crimes, and love stories in small towns, which was a minimum outline of her first published novel, To Kill a Mockingbir”. As fans waited for another book after she received many awards in nineteen sixty-one, she stayed distant and dropped the idea of writing another
