Hi, my name is Rose. I'm 13 years old and ever since I read Ella Enchanted (followed by all of your other books) I have started writing my own books. The one I'm working on right now is called Ella and the Seven Dwarves. And no I didn't pick the name Ella because of Ella Enchanted I picked it because she is reading a book (Snow White) and somehow she goes into the book. Then the good queen thinks that Ella is the daughter that she wished for and names her Snow White. One year later Ella (Snow White) meets Cinderella (Who's real name is Ella) and she remembers who she actually is. This is where I stopped writing because I don't know what should happen next. I know she's going to meet other fairy tale characters and I'm thinking that Prince Charming should be working with the evil queen against Snow White but other than that I'm not sure about what should happen next. My English teacher told me that I'm going to be an author some day and I was wondering if you could help me

Okay, I JUST did and entry, but I kinda felt like doing another... that's just what happens when you hit 'enter' before adding everything you want. I'm 13 and I've been writing since I was, well, as long as I can remember, but REALLY writing since I was about 10. I write fantasy through and through and I've been really inspired about your writing. It made me think about all the fairytales out there that I could totally make a different version of. Fun, isn't it?
I definitely plan on being an author when I'm older. I'll try so hard my brain may explode.
But oh well.
As long as my imagination doesn't die, I think I'll be okay. ;P

P.S. I probably won't try so hard my brain explodes.
At least I hope not.

Dear Mrs. Levine,
I just finished reading your Writing Magic book from cover to cover, and I love EVERY WORD of it. I've been writing for two and a half years I think? Anyways, once I read it, it helped me understand writing soo much more.
Writing is, by far, my favorite thing to do, and something I do in all my free time. Your book helped my imagination fly in ways I haven't experienced. I have a pretty crazy imagination as it is, but your book inspired me in ways I haven't thought. When I started writing, my older brother was convinced I would just stop in a couple of months. He was wrong.
So wrong.
I kept writing, and I finished the book he thought I never would finish.
And now, I'm on the third draft.
When I finished Writing Magic, it filled me with so much determination, I almost can't describe it. I've never felt anything like that, and I'm very glad I have. 'Cause now I can remember that when I'm feeling low. Thank you so much, I love your work! :D

Hi Gail,
I hope all is well with you during this crazy time. I am a sixth-grade language arts teacher for the oil company, Aramco, in Saudi Arabia. Like many teachers, we ended the school year with online learning. As the summer began, we were all (and still are) stuck in the country due to international airline bans. Making the best of a tough situation, the schools offered a summer program. I chose to offer a writing program called 'A Novel Idea' which used some of your clever ideas from 'Writing Magic' and Writer to Writer'. As we ended the session, the students stated that they loved your ideas from making the hero suffer to telling and showing. I wanted to let you know that your books helped us tolerate the stay here with the 115-degree heat and no way to escape it. What a nice distraction you provided for us. Thank you. :)
Dear Mrs. Levine,
Your books are really, really, really good! It's so cool how you base them on fairy tales, like Snow White and Cinderella. I read Ogre Enchanted not that long ago and can't wait to read more. My favorite one I've read so far is A Tale of Two Castles, though it's really hard to chose. I also really like Ella Enchanted. That might also be my favorite, because I was hooked with the first sentence, and then as I read it just got better. I also watched the movie, but it wasn't as good as the book. Keep up the good work!

P.S.I'm going to be an author like you when I grow up:):D
