You're welcome! I think its great how you can get in touch with so many authors, do you contact them through their websites? Since getting back to reading this year, I too am very interested in meeting authors (i have to say, it was your interview with Judy Pascoe which inspired me:))), and my upcoming blog post will be about a Danish writer i met at the Danish church fair, I was lucky to get her to sign the book I bought and even posed for a photo!

Hey Rose, so sorry for my slow response! You are on your way with the Danish writer you met! Good for you. When I really love a writer's book, like Judy Pascoe's, I will often contact them through their websites, but I also go to conferences like AWP where I meet other writers. And to readings at local bookstores and libraries. I'm on the board of the literary nonprofit Writing by Writers, and I help out at their events. I used to go to a writer's conference every summer and take a class. Now I also teach. Writers are everywhere! Good luck!

Hi Cynthia, I apologise for my late reply! Thank you, one of my recent posts on my blog is about meeting the Danish writer. Thank you for your advice! I also enjoyed reading your most recent interview with Mary Carroll Moore. I tried to comment but again its not letting me. Please let me know if my comment has appeared.
