fan letter
April 25, 2009
might there not be, especially in a society in which writers feel misunderstood and neglected, an obligation to write the occasional carefully wrought fan letter?
Wayne C. Booth
Over the next two weeks I’ll be doing two things for the first time: writing a fan letter (to Laura Miller, of course) and trying to make a book.
I’m going to write the letter in the form of a book. I’ll be doing this under the guidance of How to Make Books by Esther K. Smith.
Feel free to send advice. I’ll post my progress. Emily has promised to help me.

Do any fan letters every get published or discussed in biographies? I would think that, for some writers, it would be a really interesting thing to look at.
And by “it would be a really interesting thing to look at” I mean, “Heather, do you know the answer and can you tell me if you do?”
