Fan letter essay

For example, if you plan to tweet at a celebrity on Twitter, keep your message under the 280 character limit! Introduce yourself to the celebrity. Start by writing 2 or 3 sentences about yourself, including your name, where you’re from, and how old you are. Talk about how you first heard about them, and what kind of impact they’ve had on your life.

Sometimes, there will be a general address to send fan mail to for the whole cast. Include the letter and a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want a reply. Fold up the letter and place it in an envelope. If you’re sending a letter that includes a request for an autograph, address an extra envelope to yourself, and put a stamp on it.

For example, if you were writing to J.K. Rowling, you might say, “I loved The Goblet of Fire because it really showed me what it means to be brave in the face of impossible challenges.” Ask them for an autograph politely if you’re mailing a letter.

Don’t be afraid to tell a short story about how you first encountered their work. It’s okay to make it a little personal! If you’re writing to Britney Spears, you might say something like “My name is Kate, and I’m 19 years old. I’ve been a huge fan of yours ever since I heard your song ‘Oops, I Did It Again’ on the radio when I was a kid!”
