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.

Greetings Mr. Coville! I am a 14-year old girl who wholly enjoys your Unicorn Chronicles series. It has been a delight reading them. So refreshing! A take on the legends of unicorns and dragons, elegantly portrayed in a single world. Just a inquiry Mr. Coville, do you have a F&Q section on your website? Is there ever going to be a movie? It would make a wonderful one. Also, do you have any place with advice for aspiring writers? Thank you so much, it has been a honour talking with you. Thank you again!

Hi, Cara-Ziana -
Thanks for this message, and my apologies for not replying sooner. The guestbook got totally out of control on me this spring.
I'm delighted to know that you enjoyed the Unicorn Chronicles so much. As to a movie - I get this question all the time. I would certainly be delighted to have a film made from the Chronicles (assuming the filmmakers do a good job) but that is not something I have much control over. Basically, someone in Hollywood has to want to make a film, and be able to come up with enough money to do it.
From your name I am pretty confident that you are a Shannon Hale fan, too, especially of THE GOOSE GIRL. Did you know that I produced and directed the audiobook version?
If you look at the header of my website, you'll find a link for a page with my writing tips. Also, check out the wonderful book SPILLING INK by Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter. It's the best guidebook for young writers that I know of.
All best,
BC
