Dear Readers,

We want to hear from you! Over the years, we have read thousands of reader letters. Not surprisingly, we see many questions over and over, which prompted us to create this list of Teenreads.com's Most Frequently Asked Questions. Please see if we have the answer to your question there before emailing Teenreads.com. If we do not have the answer, please write to us using the form below.

Contacting Authors --- How do I send a letter to an author? Do you have an author's email address?

Our of respect for author privacy, The Book Report Network will not release the email or home address of any authors. If you would like to contact an author, we suggest that you start by searching to see if the author has a website. You can do this by going to Google.com to search for information about an author website.

If you cannot find contact information on the Internet, we suggest that you write the author in care of his or her publisher. That address can be found in the front of the author's book. Publicity departments forward mail to authors. Here is a sample of how to address your letter:

Stephenie Meyer
c/o Hachette Book Group USA
237 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10017
