Author Autographs: You Help Needed

[Chewie]

I have been collecting autographs from all the Star Wars authors for the past couple years, and am coming really close to a complete collection. However, there are a few authors that I have searched for mailing addresses and such on-line and have found nothing time after time. If ANYONE has any info that would help me track down the following few authors it would be greatly apprecaited. (Or if you already have an autograph you would be willing to trade/sell.)

-Elaine Cunningham
-Troy Denning
-K.W. Jeter
-Greg Keyes
-David West Reynolds
-L. Neil Smith
-Matthew W. Stover
-Daniel Wallace
-Ryder Windham
-Dave Wolverton

Thanks so much!!

Troy Denning is member Tailone at http://boards.theforce.net. If you PM him he might give you an address. Hope this helps.

 

[Chewie]

Thanks, SWfan - I just send PM's to Troy, Matt Stover, and Dan Wallace via the force.net message boards, as well as John Ostrander, Jan Duursema, and Joe Corroney. I'm anxious to see if any reply. Thanks again!

That's really cool. I've been wanting to write to a lot of authors but haven't been able to find address'. I'm going to make a list up and try to find some tonight.

I got a reply from Troy Denning today!
This was his response:

"Hi Zack,

Thanks very much for your compliments--I'm glad you enjoy my books. If you'd like an autograph, the simplest thing to do is send a bookplate to me through Del Rey. You can find the address in front of any of my Star Wars novels, I think--or certainly on the web. It'll take a few weeks (months?) to work through the system, but that's the easiest way to do it by mail. I'll also be on tour in May, I think, but I don't know what cities I'm visiting yet.

Take care,

Troy"

Cool! I figured I could send to Del Rey but I didn't know if they passed fan mail on or not. I'll be getting a letter ready once I find the address. Thanks again to Star Wars Fan!

 

[RYAN-J]

Chewie! That's awesome news! I'm very happy for you! I hope you get responses from every one else too

[Chewie]

I hope so too. Even if they don't though, most of the people on my list wrote for Del Rey at some point so theoretically I could do the same thing as Troy Denning.

 

[SWfan]

Glad I could help. Good luck with the rest!

I just got another reply - this time from Matthew Stover:

"Hi, Zack. I'm glad you've enjoyed my books; everyone likes to be appreciated. I don't really have a separate fanmail address, and I prefer that my home address remain largely private. You can always send your request to me, care of Del Rey Books . . . but they are VERY slow about forwarding fan mail, and I am notoriously unreliable in replying. So don't send actual books. Book plates are the way to go, and don't expect to get an answer in less than six months or so.

If you decide to go that way, you can always check in with me here (via pm) to find out if I've received them yet.

Thanks for writing!

MWS"

So basically the same information. I will be sending a request to him shortly as well.

 

[RYAN-J]

So cool man!! I'm glad there all replying to your messages! it's an awesome feeling to see reply's from Authors and Celebrity's in your Email inbox

a try. They forward letters for most of their authors, but include a postage-paid envelope with the author's name on it and they'll forward your letter.
