Write to Connect gives 10 lucky classes the chance to send questions to, and receive responses from, an author!
Here’s how it works:
1
Read the book with your class. 
2
If you are randomly chosen, each student in your class writes a letter to the author.
3
Mail your letters to us in a prepaid envelope.

Once the author receives their letters, they’ll answer a selection of student questions in a video.
