Greetings. Yesterday I was chatting with my 17-year old daughter about what she wants for Christmas. We move every few years, so she has learned the love of reading, as it was easier than making friends all the time. She told me that her favorite author is you and she would love a signed copy of one of your novels. Where do you recommend I find one? I see signed novels available online, but don't know if the autographs are legitimate. Are we able to send you a novel to be autographed? It would make her Christmas. Thank you.

Dear Ms. Levine
This year I decided to give my 16 grandchildren books for their Christmas gift. I learned that children are not reading like they used. I wanted to give them books my children had read and loved. I have six yo twins is Texas who will be receiving the first four "Princess Tales". My 11 yo granddaughter in Alaska will be receiving "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Magic Egg". I have three daughters who grew up on your books and now my granddaughters will be reading them! I love this. We even used "The Magic of Writing" when we homeschooled. Thank you for so many joyful hours of reading.

Dear Mrs. Levine,
I want to start by saying that I absolutely love your books! My personal favorite is Sparrows in the Wind (I can't tell you how excited I was to see a story about Cassandra!). The favorite among my sisters is The Two Princesses of Bamarre. I read it to my youngest sister, and she cried at the end (in a good way, mostly). On that note, I have a question about Addie. I love drawing fanart of my favorite books (I'm by no means an artist, but it's fun to put them on paper). I grew up with the paperback cover, where the sisters stand back to back, one in green and one in a nightgown, and I always thought Addie was the one in green because that's what she wears in the story. But then some of the descriptions seemed to contradict the cover, which obviously what's written in the book would be accurate, but I just want to stick as close to the book as possible when sketching them. So how did you imagine them looking when you were writing them? Thank you so much, and thank you for making such beautiful modern fairy tales!

Dear Mrs. Levine,
Hello, my name is Brenna and I'm a writer and artist looking to work in middle-grade graphic novels. I wanted to thank you for your stories and let you know how poignant your book "Writing Magic" was to me when I was a child.
I'm 25 now, but years ago your book was one of the things that helped me write more seriously. I hadn't read it in years, but I've been working on my senior Illustration BFA research paper for college and thought about it again. I pulled it back out and forgot just how much I adored this book. I reread that paperback so many times as a child and teenager that the corners are worn and curling, and the spine edges cracking into white. The inside cover I had written "Property of Brenna" in pencil, and there are still the sticky notes I placed between pages pf parts I wanted to remember.
I think the thing that stuck with me most to this day was in chapter 5 where you said that it wasn't necessary to start at the beginning of the story if it's boring you, and instead start by writing the scenes that excite you and working from there. It's a tip I've used ever since.
I'm certainly going to reread the book now while I work on my current stories! Thank you so much for the inspiration and push, and I hope I can create my own stories that bring others as much joy and excitement as yours do. Have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Brenna Kilpatrick
