Hi! I made a skit about one of the faker scenes specifically the one at the end with Logan (not spoiling if you haven’t read the book yet don’t look at this) so can you check it out and how do you think it is?

Hi,Damian,

Thanks for posting and for sending me your skit. I liked it a lot. Without giving away too much, you captured the end of the friendship of the two boys, which was an important scene because it had a lot to do with explaining how hard it was for Trey to settle somewhere, make friends, and then disappear when the scam was over.

Thanks for giving me a look at it. I think it was very good! I'm especially glad that you seem to have liked the book enough to do a scene from it! -----Gordon Korman-----

Thank you! I will definitely show my class that you thought it was even good. You are an inspiration to me and I even wrote a book inspired by how you write your books and I’m currently trying to get it published. Again thanks a lot!

I love your books how do you write them so quickly? also how much do you make off one book in a year. i think you should make your own publishers so you earn more. also im making 2 books of my own right now. any advice? please reply!

Hi, Marco,

I did send you an email before I found this posting.

I don't really write my books very quickly. I write, on average, 2 a year, so tat takes quite a long time. The amount of money a book makes depends on iys popularity and how many are sold. e.g. RESTART has been on the Bestseller List of The New York Times for over 4 years! So its sales are very good. See how it works?

Thanks, but I don't want to be a publisher. Writing is what I love to do. And beaue you happen to be working on 2 books, I can see that you love it too.

Good luck! -----Gordon Korman-----
