Dear Gail Carson-Levine,
This is just a note to thank you for all your writing and for all your involvement in the writing community. I devoured your books as a kid, and I loved how smart they were--never talking down to us, always turning a familiar story on its head. I think I must've read "Writer to Writer" about twelve times because I was so determined to be an author like you, and I still remember advice from it to this day. You've been such an inspiration and influence for me, and I am very grateful to have gotten to grow up at a time that your books were available.

To Gail,
I first read Ella Enchanted when I was in 4th grade in 1999. It was my favorite book for many years. I have enjoyed reading more of your novels as the years have gone by. I introduced my 8 year old daughter to Ella Enchanted last week and it has made me so happy to see her fall in love with it too.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
-Susie

Dear Mrs. Levine
I am a homeschooled girl. You are my favourite author and Ella Enchanted is my favorite book! I've read Writing Magic and I love it. It really inspired me to write my own novels.. Thank you so much for inspiring me!
I am a children's book writer in North Carolina, and I write a blog called Words at Work and Play in Books for Children and Young Adults. I'm writing to let you know that I mentioned your book Betsy Who Cried Wolf in a blog post called Words of Promise: Oaths, Vows, Promises, and Pledges in Children’s Books. You can see the blog post here:
Now that I've discovered your blog, I will come back to explore more. Thank you so much for generously sharing your experience and expertise with the world!
Abby, I suggest you post your questions on the latest page of the blog.
How long the writing takes depends on the book. Some are harder to write than others--but, generally, one to four years. Many writers are faster than I am.
