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.

Mr. Coville,
Is writing smoothsailing or are you ever worried a publisher will not like your books? What is your least favorite part of making a book?

Hi, Nicole -
Oh, writing is smooth sailing . . . every once in a great while! Mostly it's hard work. Good work, work I love. But hard work.
My least favorite part of making a book? I suppose it's when I've lost my way somehow and realize I have to back up and throw a bunch of stuff out! Either that, or when I have two good ideas for a scene, but can only use one and so have to choose between them.
