Writing to Jo

"Neptune" worte:
"Has anyone here written to Jo Rowling? I'm currently thinking about 
a letter but not sure what to write. I'm very intimidated about 
writing to celebrities because I  would hate to get the same message 
again and again and again. If you have  written,  how long did it 
take for a response?"

"I would advise that if you are going to write, write simply because 
you want someone to read what you have written, and not in 
expectation of a response."

--Well you might not get a response, but I wouldn't completely rule 
it out. I know that Nick (where is he anyway?) has written and gotten 
a response from Jo. (One that comfirmed that Lily did indeed come out 
of the wand first. He even has her e-mail but wouldn't reveal it to 
the club-smart man!) If you send the letter via Bloomsbury or 
Scholastic you're probably not likely to get a response (However I 
suppose these are forwarded to her.)

You can send a letter to Jo at her office-

J.K. Rowling
P.O. Box 27036
Edinburgh
EH10 5WB
SCOTLAND

I sent her a Christmas card at this address. I know that Nick also 
sent her one from all of us at HPforGrownups.  I didn't expect or get 
a response to my Christmas card, but for a normal letter you may get 
something.

(I also have some feeling that Jo's office address has changed. Is 
the above the new or old address or am I imagining things?)

"It is likely that you will receive nothing at all. Many agencies 
have systems set up to reply to fan-mail and many times the 'star's' 
never even see such a letter. Sometimes you will get an autographed 
photo pulled from a stack of such for sending in a fan letter."

--Like I said I'm not sure what type of response you'll get, and even 
if you do get one it may come from Fiddy, Jo's secretary, and not 
from the Jo herself.
