When children see Rick Riordan, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Brad Meltzer, or Matt de la Pena on the cover, they know what books they like. And this strong connection deepens when your child has the opportunity to see for himself the author himself. At book fairs, library events, book readings, or when writers begin to market their works, it all comes to mind.

Meeting a favorite author is a combination of joy and a touch of fear. It is a problem that has plagued me for 15 years. I’ve met writers who have worked with me on autographs and lectures, but I always feel like my communication skills are out the door.

Last Tuesday, October 16th was a happy day for me if you follow me on social media (or if you don’t leave my details at the end of my post, as you can see below). I met my favorite writer, who inspired me to write more than just hobbies. The author is Nicholas Sparks, and I'm sure most of you know his work.

I found a good recording of our conversation (see below) and what I would say to him and it all came out in vain and I am sure he does not understand part of it but I told him that he is my favorite compliment and one of the main reasons why I decided to take my writing seriously and one day become a successful writer. he has to do that. He thanked me, encouraged me to keep writing, gave me my signed book, and was on my way.

I didn’t ask the author any questions or get any answers or details about his future books, so I packed something of my own. I was talking to a scientist (not a writer) and he said everyone should interrupt my speech to ask his questions. After staring at the other side, I handed him my card and followed him.

It is good to hear them speak and thank them after your letter is signed. If you stand in line to sign a letter, people will ask you. Once your book is signed you will not have much time with the author so you will only be able to answer 1-2 questions.

Authors like to meet fans, but it can be difficult if you are too busy having a regular conversation with them. Every time you go out, you know the place better and book autographs and lectures.

On the contrary, I can’t imagine any time I met the author on the page and was so inspired by him that I even sought out his version that was not on the page. When I meet the authors, I enjoy their presence on the page as much as their presence. I feel like this article needs to be written because there are so many people who are disrespectful, disrespectful, and disgusting to the writers.

I’m not saying that meeting the author is a phantasmagoric view. If you are lucky, your children will get to know the person who wrote the book they love, and it will be part of their personal story in a way that a work of art will never do. What we have in common is that we read the authors and follow a certain urge to meet them in our reading behavior, and that we ultimately fall in love with them as if they were some kind of god, and that the meeting feels not only intimate but human, especially when someone comes to sign a book.

One thing to consider is the division of students into groups to avoid age differences, as some writers find it difficult to attract a group. In fact, it may not be possible for your favorite writers such as E.B. Some writers live only because geography or fame makes the opportunity to meet impossible.

Because of the great interest in the writing process and the artistic aspects of children’s books, this practical workshop covers a good monopoly discussion of how to become a writer and supervisor. To reach more readers, the author writes for different readers and presents different books for different marks.

Readers return from the author's visit with portable pieces to recall what happened, such as each copy of the author's book. If a book is not provided, students can place one book in the classroom and more copies in the library. Watch video chats with your favorite writers.

It’s good to meet a writer who has a job that means a lot to me now, and if you have the opportunity, I suggest you try to meet him. We often think of writers as great, confident people who tell us something about the world we live in or how we think about our lives. Nicholson Baker has some kind of off-page presence and information that reassures him, rather than threatening the things said about him.
