Re: Gen: Author's Address

[Eric Elfman <ElfmanWrld@AOL.COM>]

Hi Christine--
I would definitely recommend writing to authors at the company that published their 
books. I have written several books for kids and young adults, and all of my fan 
mail is forwarded to me by my publisher. In fact, I'd be a little bit nervous if I 
got mail directly from a reader -- I'd wonder how they got my address! Plus, it's 
very easy to get the address for the publisher -- some are printed right in the 
book!
  You might want to have your students note on the envelope that they are writing 
to an author, not an employee of the company. They could address the envelope this 
way:
  Author's Name
  Author
  c/o Publishing company
  Address

Hope this helps!
