I grew up in love with your books. I can't count the number of times I reread the Princess Tales, The Wish, Ella Enchanted, and The Two Princesses of Bamarre. And then I grew up and forgot to keep reading. I had children, and lucky for me, they love being read to. I am actually in the middle of reading Ella Enchanted to my children for the first time, which is very exciting for me as a mother. But it was in the library last night, that I made a very library-inappropriate squeal when I walked past "Ogre Enchanted" with your name on the spine. I am SO excited to see that you've kept writing and I cannot wait to--as a grown woman-- read these new books for the first time, and share them with my children. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world!!

Maggie–I would love to meet you! I almost always sign at events, and there’s almost always have time to chat. You can pretty much count on it. I’ll be doing local events when A CEILING MADE OF EGGSHELLS comes out in May, and there’s always the Chappaqua book festival in the fall. Please keep checking the website.
Crypto X Profit--I’m so glad you use my blog prompts!
Lily–Thank you! And good luck with your writing!
Kristin Morales–I’m not sure if I wrote back to you about this. Miramax has first rights, so they would have to give permission for a remake.
Lisa Cox–Thank you! I hope you’ve gotten more help from WRITER TO WRITER by now, and you may also find WRITING MAGIC useful. Plus, there’s my blog, which is about writing, right here on my website.
Miel–The rights to THE TWO PRINCESSES OF BAMARRE are available. Please contact my agent to discuss moving forward.
Hello,
I wrote to you about seven years ago when I was 14 and I remember the wonder of receiving your reply. The fact that you still do this is magical. Are there any updates about the Two Princesses of Bamarre film? Does a film studio still have the rights?
Thank you for the inspiration you’ve provided to me and many young girls like me over the years. You’ve made such a positive impact and I’m ever so grateful to you.
(Fun fact: when I met my college roommate we bonded over loving you as we’d each brought a copy of Two Princesses with us to college as a favorite book)

Hi Gail, Just started your book Writer to Writer and the firts chapter reads like magic and God's words to me. I am a fifty year old child at heart christian, mother of two, wife and Teen Challenge program director for adolescent girls who struggle with life. I love children's lit and illustrate some as well, and I have taken many picture book writing classes but am an absolute beginner. I want to become more disciplined to write and illustrate so that whatever story is in me can come out. How can I learn more to develop basic story ideas that pop into my head, so an actual plot can develop. Thank you for your books, your help and prayers.

Hello again Mrs. Gail Carson Levine!
Thank you so much for your response about being interested in another remake of your Ella Enchanted.
What I'm more interested in knowing is if your story is even available to be remade? I know that it was produced by Miramax I just want to make sure that it is available for option.
I personally want to write a new script for Ella Enchanted and then pitch it to a studio for production.
While the Ella Enchanted film that had been produced is... "acceptable", there is so much more beauty and heart in your story than that movie gave. I would like the opportunity to write and pitch the BEST possible version of Ella Enchanted.
I wait patiently for good news that I may have this opportunity without fear of another entity owning the rights. Thank you!
