    Mr. Korman,

    My class is reading your book “schooled” we all really like it. I was wondering if you could sign a bookplate for for me. I understand that you aren’t able to give one to everyone, that’s why I’d love it if you sent one. 
    Thank you so much Gordon.

    Hi, AJB


    I'd need your request with your full name and mailing address sent to Info@gordonkorman.com  and that's how easy it is, OK?

    You're welcome, AJB.


    Titles: they often write themselves, straight from the story. e.g. MASTERMINDS, or THE HYPNOTISTS, also UNGIFTED.  Sometimes I have the title before I've written a single word of the story, sometimes the title comes during the writing, and sometimes I don't name the book at all, but my editor will do it for me. OK?                                                  ---GK---

    Hi, Scott,


    Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that your granddaughter is a fan. I'd love to meet her.


    The school presentation is a private event, which means that you would have to get permission from the school if you wish to attend. I can't speak for them, but I know of many school events that have permitted outside people to attend.


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

    Sorry, Scott. NCTE is National Council of Teachers of English, and it would be a private convention for their members. 


    This website has a heading called AUTHOR VISITS, and the topic dealt with is "Travel Schedule." You might check that for any session occurring in your area, because the name of the school is often included. Sorry, but that's just about all the help I can provide.                                                                                                                              ---GK---
