Dear Mrs. Levine,
I absolutely LOVE your books. I want to be an author when I grow up, too. 'Writing Magic' really inspired me. (Just so you know, I am almost 10 years old.

Could you read this prologue and tell me how good it is from a scale from 1 to 10? Thanks!

The night was enchanting. Not one soul in Ceistare Prison uttered a sound. They were under a spell, soothed by images in the serene night. The stars painted pictures in their minds, and deprived them of the sadness from departing their families. The moon cradled the weary, swept the tears off innocent faces. Not even the wind was blowing, it had ceased. Only the moon and stars remained, and beyond them the darkness of twilight. On that night, a powerful had neared. Cecelious Oveca-Nor crossed his boots in over the entrance into Ceistare. His steps were heard through the night, a thunderous beat that would've hushed a steam engine. He had entered Ceistare in hope of meeting the king. He had a matter that needed to be discussed. His daughter, Annina Klastoria- De-Elvancha would be the next princess to feel the golden crown rest upon er yellow locks.

Hey! I got a question! Can you give me some tips on writing?

I have loved your books forever. I have two copies of Ella Enchanted because the first one got so worn. I met you once at my school, years ago, and even had you're autograph on a book mark that I've since lost. Your work has always been inspirational to me. I've been writing pretty much since the first time I picked up a book. I was just wondering around your site and thought I would leave a comment.

I got your book Writing Magic for Christmas when I was in 6th grade. I love it and have used it so many times that I'm surprised it hasn't disintegrated!

I just wanted to say that I first read Ella Enchanted when I was either 7 or 8 (can't remember!) and it was instantly my favorite book and you are my favorite childhood author ever. I also read all your Princess short stories, Dave at Night, and The Two Princesses of Bamarre, but I continued to read Ella Enchanted over and over again through to middleschool, and soon everyone knew it was my favorite book because it was always with me- I even recited a few pages of it for my speech sixth grade speech project and won first place in the whole school. When Fairest came out my parents bought it for me and I read it many times as well. I'm fifteen now, and I love writing. My first novel was a two hundred page fairytale that still sits on my shelf with my other books. I haven't read a fairytale or written one in a long time, because eventually I got into realistic fiction, but this week I just decided to read Ella and Fairest again for fun, and was reminded of how much I loved them, and how I don't think I would be the writer I am, or a writer at all, if it weren't for your books. I try to get my sister, now 8, to read them, but it's difficult to get her to read anything that's more than a hundred pages. I hope you read this because I really want you to know how much your books mean to me and the impact they had on me as a little girl who became a writer because of it.
Sincerely, Summer Joy
