Hi, Brynn,

Thanks for posting. Being an author is great! I guess I must enjoy it a lot. I’ve written almost 100 books!

Tips: if you want to be an author, you have to practice by writing. Write every day — a journal, or a short story, or just a pretend letter to a friend or to someone like me. Writing is the key. It helps you to get comfortable with the use of language. When you become a better writer, you’ll enjoy it more, and your writing will read more smoothly too. And always make sure you have something interesting to say. Because anyone intelligent can write intelligently. But the secret is to write something that someone else will want to read! Good luck.

Sorry, I don’t recall a group asking me to write ISLAND 4 and put them in it. But I’m pleased that you and your friends enjoyed ISLAND enough to want to be in it.

Thanks again for writing, Brynn.                                                          —–Gordon Korman—–
