Dude, Gordon Flippin' Korman I did not think I'd like Restart as much as I did because it was absolutely awe-striking! And then I saw your other books and I read a few (Level 13, Unplugged, Unteachables etc,) and I'm so excited to get my hands on a new one! Thanks for clicking and honestly, I LOVE your work, you're a crazy inspo for me.

Hi, Acadia,

Thanks for posting and for all the nice things you said about me and my books. With the reent publication of HYPERGIFTED, there are now 107 of them, so if it's my stuff you're after, you won't be running out of reading material any time soon.

I am now all set to bask in my new title: Crazy Inspo. Thanks again! -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi Mr. Korman!

I bet you have heard this many times but, YOUR BOOKS ARE AMAZING!!! You keep releasing new books but they never get old or less interesting. How did you Write your first book? how did you get it published? and Can I get some writing tips? Love Your Books!

PS. What is your Favorite Sandwich?

Hi, Gemma,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad you find my books are still coming out fresh and interesting! After 107 of them, it gets a little harder to avoid repeating myself.

Your questions: I wrote my first book from a plot I dreamed up. I got it published by sending it to the only publisher I knew -- Scholastic -- they liked it, and presto! Writing tips? The basics: write every day, a lot, a ton! Write stories, letters, lists, and perhaps a diary. That's the way you get good at expressing yourself. When you think you're ready, plan your book VERY WELL before you start to write. And then find someone you really trust, and show that person your work. Ask for their honest opinion. An honest opinion is he only aceptable response from him/her.

OK? Good luck, Gemma! -----Gordon Korman-----
