Dear Gail Carson Levine,
Your books not only got a stubborn 10 year old me who "hated reading" to turn around into a life of bookworming, but you also inspired me as a writer! My sister and I are cowriting a few novels and I had a couple of questions.
Firstly, we have been writing, rewriting, editing and rewriting again! We never seen to be satisfied and I was wondering if you ever can be truly satisfied with your writing? And at what point you have to stop and let it be?
Secondly, what would be your first step in publishing? Do we need to start with magazines to get our foot in the door or start out writing query letters?
Thirdly, what the heck do you write in a query letter!?!?!?!?!
Lastly, do you think it's all worth it?
You are my favorite writer! You are so kind to take the time to read this! Thank you so much!!!
With love,
Emma❤️

Dear Miss Levine
I LOVE your books! Especially Ella Enchanted.I have read and watched it. But now I am wondering why the movie and the book are so different. Can you help me? Thank you.

Hello Mrs. Levine!
I am SO excited for Ogre Enchanted to be released just a week before my birthday! I hope you'll go on tour to or near Raleigh, NC, so I can get all of your books I own signed! Even if I can't, thank you for continually writing such wholesome, amazing stories.
Abigail--Thank you!I was able to change the dialogue in the movie a little, but nothing else. If your ELLA ENCHANTED script is just for fun and not for commercial purposes (not to sell tickets or perform, even for free, for large audiences), you can go ahead.
Julia--Thank you! My how-to book WRITING MAGIC covers writing dialogue. I also discuss the topic on my blog right here on the website. You can find posts by scrolling through "Categories."
Hazel--Writing IS hard! Like Julie above, you may find help on my blog, here on the website. Scroll through "Categories" for the topic "finishing stories."
A. Kelly--Thank you! I'm sorry! I don't have time to read your book--but CONGRATULATIONS on writing it! And best of luck with it!

Dear Mrs. Levine,
I am a huge fan of your books. I loved "Fairest" and "Ella Enchanted". I grew up on your books, they were the select few that I really liked. I never liked reading growing up, but your books were an exception and a great influence. I write to you today to ask a favor should you be inclined. I have recently written a book and posted it on amazon. I would love to have you review it. It is "Birthright" by A. G. Kelly. I know you are a very busy woman and a busy writer yourself, but it would be so cool to me to know you've read mine. You are one of my all time favorite authors. Thank You.
