I love hearing from readers, and I promise I read every letter and that they're really special to me. Please understand that I can't write back individually, but will send out newsletters every few months with updates on books to anyone who has written to me or signed up for the mailing list. If you're writing with questions for a report due the next day, please check the Q&A's in the "About Me" section, and hopefully that will tell you what you need. Teachers, librarians, and school media specialists: if you are interested in hosting a school visit, please visit my Events and School Visits page for more information.

If you write a letter as a school assignment and send it via my publishers, please be aware it can take months to reach me and can wind up in the wrong department. Emailing is so much easier. But if you really want to snail mail, and you want a response, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope. If you've written in the past and haven't heard back, please email me and let me know. Thanks.
