What is the best way to contact the author of a book?

answers1:I once found a mistake in a book and i went to the book's
website. The author's e-mail address was there, and i sent an e-mail
to her, which she responded to. (not automated response, either)My
best advice is to look for the e-mail address on the book or author's
website. If there isn't a site for the book/author, try the
publisher.hope this helps!!...Show more
answers2:Lol about the ghosts of authors.Usually on an author's
website, they're will be a contact link where you can write a message
on the website itself and send it the the author or an email address
where you can contact the author is listed. If a contact link on the
website isn't available, try one of the following:-Log onto the
author's message board, if one exists. Some authors happily chat with
the public on blogs and message boards. At least you might find
someone on the message board who knows how to contact the
author.-Write to the author's agent. Agents forward correspondence to
the author. Always be professional and clearly state your intentions
for contacting the author in your letter.-Find out if the author is
doing a book signing at a local bookstore or appearing at a convention
or writer's conference in your area. Make plans to attend the event
and approach the author, if possible.-Send a letter to the author in
care of her publisher. You can find publisher contact information in
the front of the author's book or on the publisher's website.Good
luck!...Show more
answers3:Some authors can be contacted by e-mail, others will probably
operate through a publisher. In lieu of having theirpersonal/business
e-mail (which are usually found on their personal sites) I'd send an
e-mail or snail mail through the publisher. They usually make sure
the author gets the messages.
answers4:Usually, if they have a website, they might post an e-mail
address.You can try searching there.Otherwise, it may be impossible.
answers5:Usually there is a blurb on an inside page if the author has
a web site. or if non can be found,, send it to his publisher. Google
the author and see.
