Hi Mr. Korman,

I love your style of writing and always excited for new books. I have read 18, almost 19 (I’m reading Operation Do-Over right now) of your books in only about eight months. But, what I wanted to ask you, me and my friend are making a book. We are already on page 55. I have been inspired by a lot of your books, Unplugged, mostly because it is about kids going to a camp. Is there any tips or tricks you could give us? If not, that’s totally fine.

Thanks,

Ricky

Hi,Ricky,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased that you're such a oyal fan.

The only "tips" or "tricks" I can suggest involve just plain hard work. PLAN your story before you put it on paper. No one ever wrote anything successful by just making it up as he/she goes along. You have to know what you're trying to say before you try to say it. Planning is everything. That's the best tip I can give you.

Good luck to you and your friend! -----Gordon Korman-----
