Hi Ms. Kelley! I'm a freshman college at University of New Orleans and I'm a big big fan of your writing. We're doing a profiling assignment about the person who we want to meet in English and I chose you. Can I please interview you for this assignment? I
Bumped this one up, as answering in 3 months probably won’t help :) I do answer questions for school projects. Because I’m making this answer public, I’m going to state the general rules, which may not apply to your specific assignment. Why do I have rules? Because imposing limitations is the only way I can continue helping with school projects. Otherwise, it’ll be a flat no to everyone.
1) max 5 questions.
2) min 2 weeks notice. This is 2 weeks from receiving the questions, not 2 weeks from first email contact.
3) the project must be writing related. Projects to interview writers—or someone in the arts—are fine. Those to interview someone who has a career you want are fine. Those to answer English class questions about my books (i.e. what’s the theme of The Summoning) are not. Projects to interview someone on a random topic are not. Alison will reject these and I’ll never see them, which avoids me having to say “no” to you :)
Questions must go to Alison at mail@kelleyarmstrong.com. If they’re sent via Tumblr, Facebook, Goodreads etc, it’ll likely be too late by the time I get to it! Alison keeps me organized; always contact her for anything time-sensitive.
