A follow-up post to my first post about Alan Katz. About a month ago, I get a comment on that very post from guess who - Alan Katz himself! I was ecstatic! Elated! Overjoyed! And greatly impressed! I would have never guessed that he would have read that post - that totally wasn't the intent. But I'm glad he did!
I told my class that he left a comment on my blog, and I sent our original email to him again after school (this time using my gmail and not my school email account - I think that was the problem before). He emailed back within 10 - yes, ten! - minutes. He took the time to answer the class's questions, and will email us back as often as we email him. We haven't gotten back to email him a lengthy response yet - but the kids are totally impressed with him, as are other teachers, parents, and the principal.
So - if your class is looking to write a real-life author, give Alan Katz a try! Just don't use your school email. :)
