HIT: Internet sites for authors' addresses

[Rick Van Pelt <rkvpcz@MBOX.VOL.CZ>]

Dear LM_NET:

This is the question posed:  Is there one centralized site for authors'
addresses?  I can get many addresses by going to publishers' home pages, but
this seems a bit cumbersome.  Does anyone on the LM net know of one good
site for this type of information?

These are the answers received:

Our website has lots of links to authors which may be of use. Go to
http://www.microfusion.com.au and click on LINKS. Go to Books.... and then
select Authors from the Books... page

----------

My students  received responses from three authors this last month:
Aliki
Barry Moser
Merlin Tuttle
I wrote in each instance to the publisher.  That has been the way for
many years and it does get responses even if a bit slow.

----------

A couple of good sites for author information are:
                http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/chauthors.htm
                http://www.rutgers.edu/special.kay/authors

I don't know if they give regular mail addresses, but they are worth a try!

Just opened my new issue of School Library Journal, March 1998, p.125,
"Kidlit Central", wealth of information.

These sites are all very interesting, especially the Jan Brett site.
