We encourage you to reach out to authors and illustrators. From our experiences, most authors and illustrators love hearing from their readers, so they often have contact information on their website for this reason. With that in mind, TeachingBooks maintains links to personal websites and blogs, and most contain contact information. Additionally, many authors maintain social media accounts that you might be able to contact them through, too. If neither of those work or are available, we suggest you look up the publisher contact information, because publishers are historically happy to forward messages to their authors and illustrators as well. We hope these tips help you contact authors and illustrators!
