Dear Mr. Korman,

I'm a teacher and music director with with a doctorate in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. I just finished reading "Linked" and am moved beyond words, into action. I would like to take your novel and turn it into a musical to be performed by tweens and teens at a local temple or JCC, or similar community center, along with conversations about the topic. It would not be for money, but for education and awareness. (If you'd prefer, we could request funds for royalties for you, or for a human rights cause.)

You can learn about me at my blog lifeisanarrowbridge.com or with my youtube (@musicatfuufhc290).

Please consider this request and let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much!
