A good
conversation begins
with the right angle.

Before You Seal the Envelope

A useful message
does not need to be long.

It needs enough detail to understand who is writing, what is being requested, who the audience is, and when the request would need to happen.

01 Identify yourself and the organization. Name, role, library, school, publication, bookstore, event, group, or project
02 Describe the audience and the purpose. Readers, children, librarians, writers, listeners, viewers, book-club members, or attendees
03 Include the practical details. Date or date range, location, virtual or in person, expected length, attendance, travel, and budget
04 Name the book, topic, or project. Dan Tesson, Princess & Scruffy, The Rating Game, The Road of Blood, Silly Sandbox, libraries, or publishing
Please do not send passwords, payment-card information, government identification, private information about children, or a full unsolicited manuscript. Order status, shipping, returns, refunds, and private payment details must be handled by the retailer or platform used for the purchase.
Stay in the Story

Not every message
needs a reply.

Some readers simply want to know what comes next: the next book, the next library stop, the next review, the next interview, or the next small piece of the author journey.
