Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hi Mr. Coville! I wrote you last year that I use your excellent style of writing to inspire my 4th and 5th graders--they are instructed to "Colvillize" their writing (add LOTS of details). I teach (44 years!!) in Long Beach Unified School District and would LOVE to have you speak to my students. Are you going to be in the southern California area anytime this year???
Thanks for inspiring so many kids to read and write!

Hi, Meri -
Oh, how this delights me. As you may know, I used to teach 4th grade myself (what a great year that is!). Forty-four years is an amazing career as a teacher. I am in awe of you!
There are no immediate plans for me to be in Southern California, but I will keep this in mind should things change!
All best,
BC
