Have Questions about Chris Crutcher, his books or his life as a writer?
That's great! Because he's happy to answer them by email -- absolutely! But keep these things in mind:
1. Check these Frequently Asked Questions -- and answers -- before you email Chris. If he's already answered you here, no reason to ask again, right? If you come up with a new question, send it. But check here first.
2. Teachers, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If you want your students to ask Chris questions, don't have each of them send Chris an individual email -- asking the same questions over and over again (example: Where do you get your ideas?). Gather their questions and compile a list, so no question gets asked more than once. No need to waste your time or his. Once the list is complete, sent it to Chris and he'll answer. But drop questions that are answered here in the FAQs, too.
3. Don't ask Chris to do your homework for you. We know, it's tempting to wait to read the book until the day before the report is due, but if you make that choice, your only option is to pull an all night read, then answer the questions on your own. Easier if you don't wait, but good luck either way.
