Meeting the author ...I'm with the mom on the plane. Meeting the author lessens the mystique...if it's fiction. Plus, like her, I want them to quit talking and get back to writing. There's nothing worse than reading from a fantastic first-time author who remains...a first time author. Meeting nonfiction author - no problem.ANGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02294902935653845728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-70933625240380593892009-01-06T10:35:00.000-05:002009-01-06T10:35:00.000-05:00i'm not sure. i mean, i think it'd be cool to meet...i'm not sure. i mean, i think it'd be cool to meet someone like j.k. rowling, but i'm absolutely positive i wouldn't be able to say anything the least bit coherent and she'd walk away thinking i was a complete loon. :)~V~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10008858304246310756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-42570768661127486302009-01-06T07:49:00.000-05:002009-01-06T07:49:00.000-05:00I've loved the experience of meeting the few autho...I've loved the experience of meeting the few authors I have met. When I was about twelve I met one of my favourite children's and teen authors, Sherryl Jordan, who's a Kiwi, and she was <I>so</I> nice to me when she found out I wanted to be an author, and wrote me a special card and several letters giving me advice.<BR/>Then a few years ago I met Adrian Plass, a British writer of humourous Christian books which I <I>love</I>! All I did was ask for his autograph in my book, and then I went outside and burst into tears because I was so excited to have met him.<BR/>Thoroughly enjoyed both times. Now I only have to meet Jane Austen and I can die happy. ... What's that you say?!? Dead?!?! :)Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125437682195078847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-15103686116209762362009-01-06T06:31:00.000-05:002009-01-06T06:31:00.000-05:00Nope, not generally.

But I'm awfully nosey, so maybe that's part of it?<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm afraid book tours, etc, are just part of the game these days if you want to get your book out there.

I NEVER want to meet authors of my favorite fiction, though--it's much too risky. As a writer, my mom knows so many writers and I have had the bad fortune of therefore learning personal tidbits about some of my favorite authors that I would MUCH rather have never known. <BR/>I'd still go to their readings, but I wouldn't linger in hopes of chatting later.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348811438082678217noreply@blogger.com
