    Dear Mr. Korman, I am writing on behalf of my students at Windham Woods School, in Windham, New Hampshire. My school is designed for students who have Dyslexia and have struggled for years with reading and HATE READING! However, these students have come to love READING your BOOKS!! We read ReStart last year and are currently reading The Fort. These students WANT to read ahead, are actively doing the work, and are making a book trailer using, Tik Tok, along with a playlist to go with the chapters, characters, and feel of the book! I had parents at curriculum night last week, telling me how the kids are so EXCITED about this book and are actually telling them about it, this is SO AMAZING for them to see and hear. Also, most of these kids are 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, who travel upwards of 1-2 hours to get to school. I feel it would be a FABULOUS event for them and our staff if we could have a presentation by you at our school in the spring of 2023. I checked your travel schedule and you will be in Portland, Maine in May. Is it possible to schedule something around that time? I would love to hear from you or your staff about this wonderful event.

    Sincerely, 

    Marguerite Sciuto

    Hi, Marguerite. Thanks for getting in touch with me. I'm THRILLED that THE FORT has been such a hit with your students!


    Yes, I'm going to be swinging through New England during the beginning of May. The best way to explore looping your school into that schedule is to email my office at info@gordonkorman.com.


    I hope THE FORT continues to be a hit with your class. And, who knows, maybe I'll be seeing you soon.

    Dear Mr. Korman 


    I’m writing from St. Clements School in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and wondering if you were doing any visits anytime soon?

    Hi, Samantha from St. Clements,


    Thanks for posting and for your interest.


    I'm in Toronto fairly regularly, because my parents live there. The best way to inquire about an author visit is through my office:

    Hi Gordon,


     


    I know that a lot of different authors inspire different people, but for me you are one of the ones that stand out. Cosgrove is a great place to be, and I was wondering if you might visit sometime?


    Thanks Paige Haberbusch :)

    Hi, Paige,


    Thanks for your support for the stuff I write. I appreciate it very much.


    You also sent me to Google. I now know that Cosgrove is in Africa, and there is also a Cosgrove in Northamptonshire, England, and another as a suburb of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. I don't know if I'll ever be able to visit there, but I AM curious. Which one are you?                                                                                            -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hey, don't apologize. I'm the one who looked for Cosgrove and found it in Africa AND Australia! But I've located you now.
