Hilary Duff, Chris Colfer and Lauren Conrad have already proven themselves to be enticing storytellers with their children’s and YA fiction. But that left us to wonder: What kind of YA novel would Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson or Miley Cyrus write? We’re cooking up potential plot-lines of YA novels by our favorite celebs.
Have you ever written to an author? Did he or she write back?
When I was 12, I wrote a very long letter to J. K. Rowling thanking her thoroughly for writing the Harry Potter books. I may have also accused her of being a real witch and insisted she take me with her the next time she traveled into the wizarding world. I was sent a “Dear Friend” letter and autographed photo back from her fan club and proceeded to sleep with them under my pillow for months after.
I also wrote to Gregory Maguire whenever I finished reading one of his books (that I was way too young to be reading). I remember getting personal responses back from him and his letters always ended with “Cheers!”
