Stone described the experience as "excruciating" and stated that she was not interested in repeating it. Stone sold her book as a proposal, resulting in her writing and researching simultaneously over an eight-week period to develop a draft.
Stone was also inspired to write the book for her sons. Stone began writing the book after a series of racially-charge events, including the 2012 murder of Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old who was killed by a man who shot several rounds into a car of teenagers over a dispute about loud rap music, and the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown. The book appeared as #4 on The New York Times Best Seller list. It is Stone's debut novel, written as a reaction to the murder of Jordan Davis.
Dear Martin, published in 2017 by Crown Publishing Group, is a young adult novel by Nic Stone.
