How do I contact freelance writers?

December 172009

I have read some great books, and I would like to contact the authors to let them know that I enjoy their work. I have tried using search engines to search for them, and I have also e-mailed the company they have written for in the past with no luck in contacting them. Any ideas?

Thank you

If the author doesn’t have a website, the next best thing is to write a letter to them in care of the publisher. This does two things: (1) you get to show the author some appreciation and (2) the publisher knows that people care enough about the writer to write.

By the way, never ask a published author to read your work or ask for the name of their agent. Very amateur. Just a tip for you.

    Freelance writers often work for freelance writing companies. Try contacting those companies online to see if those writers work there. Try http://www.articleauthors.net
