Hi there, 

My name is Aidan, and I recently read your book, 'Mixed Up', and loved it.  It was so well written and beautifully character-driven.  

I am an aspiring writer myself and was wondering if you had any tips for me.  

Thanks and all the best, 

Aidan

 

 

Hi, Aidan,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that MIXED UP went over so well with you.

Writing tips: The big one is planning. If you're going to say something well, you have to know in advance exactly what you want to convey. I plan my books very well before I write a single word of them. I don't know if it makes sense to you, but it works for me!

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