(1)To send
me an e-mail, please click on the following link:
CONTACT FORM
I read
every e-mail which
is sent to me, but I
don't have time to
reply to many of
them (even if you're
doing a school
project!), so please
don't expect an
answer. You should have a look in the
Facts section before you write to me
(or if you want information
for school projects), since that's where many of the most-asked questions are answered. Also check out the
Messageboard,
where you can ask
questions of me or
other fans. If you
are a teacher,
librarian or
bookseller in the UK
or Ireland,
and would like to request a visit, please
scroll down for
details.
(2) If you want to send a letter to
me, the address is:
Darren Shan,
c/o Paul Kenny,
Rahina,
Clarina,
County Limerick,
Ireland.
I
reply personally to every
letter (and I always
autograph my
replies), but it can
sometimes take a
couple of months or
more for me to
respond -- so please
be patient. And don't forget to include your address
on your letter, and make it as clear as you can
-- I can't write
back to you if I
can't read your
address!!!!
N.B. If you are a teacher, and several of your students are writing to me, please send the letters together, and I will send a single letter to the group in response.
(3) If you are a
teacher, librarian
or bookseller living
in the UK or
Ireland, and are
interested in
arranging a Darren
Shan event, please
note that all of my
British and Irish
events are set up by
my publishers,
HarperCollins, so
you'll need to write
to them. The person
to address your
letter to is:
Geraldine Stroud,
Children's
Publicity,
HarperCollins, 77-85
Fulham Palace Road,
Hammersmith, London
W6 8JB.
Alternatively, you
can email her at:
shanevents@harpercollins.co.uk
Please let Geraldine
know as much as you
can about your
proposed event, i.e.
the type of
location, expected
audience numbers,
how you plan to
arrange book sales,
etc. The more
information you can
supply, the better.
Please also try to
submit your enquiry
well in advance of
when you would like
me to visit, i.e. at
least 2 or 3 months.
Geraldine has a
large database of
requests already on
file, and the more
notice you can give,
the better your
chances of
"snagging" me.
If you live in
another area of the
world, please keep
an eye on the
Shanville Monthly. I
travel to lots of
different countries
on tour, and always
provide lots of
advance warning,
with advice (where
possible) of how to
"pitch" for me.
