Hi Ms. Blume,
My mom is reading the Fudge series to me. I love them! I love Fudge! My little brother is like Fudge. I'm going to write a story about me, Fudge, and my brother. I keep your books under my bed to keep them safe from my brother ripping them up.
Thanks for all the Fudge books!
Your fan,
Lucas

Dear Judy Blume,
We just finished Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing as our summer bookclub book. We enjoyed it; It was so funny! Chapter 10 was funny how Fudge swallowed the turtle, Dribble! We thought it was pretty good and looked up other things on display at Boston Children's Hospital that children actually swallowed and had removed.
We thought it was super funny when Mr Hatcher took Fudge and Peter to the movies, and all the crazy things happened. Fudge was super wet from jumping in puddles and had a bunch of paper towels in his pants.
We looked at the list of books you've written on your website and are thinking about reading another in the Fudge series.
Thank you for your stories. They made us laugh!
Blessings,
Mrs. Veil, Quinn, and Lena

Loved reading Dear Margaret when I was a young teen!! I would love to get two signed copies of the book for my teen daughter and her best friend, if at all possible. They are avid readers and I have always felt this book is a FABULOUS conversation starter!!! Huge fan, God Bless you.

I belong to a women's group and today the topic of discussion was the 50th anniversary of "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret" and how much we all learned from you. We decided you should write a similar book about menopause, because we all wish we had had better warning about what was coming our way. So what do you think Ms. Blume? Do you have another adult novel in you? I have no doubt there is another whole generation coming right behind us that would read it.
Sincerely,
A group of your biggest fans

Hi Judy, I've just completed your Masterclass online. I feel so much more confident about writing my third book after watching your videos.
I have a messy mind as well and I've always thought it was just me who had to edit over and over to overcome this but now I feel like I'm not alone, thanks to you. I took a lot of notes while I watched your videos. You've given me some wonderful tips that no other author has ever provided or mentioned.
It will be easy for me to give you a great review in an upcoming blog post on my Cherry Blossom Stories website when I share my thoughts on all the Masterclass writers.
I noticed your bookstore in Key West is having a "Romance Day" on 15 August. I know this is a cheeky request but I'd be delighted if you could stock my novel "Tokyo Hearts: A Japanese Love Story" or my second book "Tokyo Tales: A Collection of Japanese Short Stories" on your shelves. My publisher is Grosvenor House Publishing.
I hope your time working in your store gives you as much satisfaction and pleasure as your writing career has given you, as well as us, your readers.
Best wishes -- Renae

Hi Judy! Okay I LOVE your books. I grew up with Fudge! I loved reading Charlie Brown and Fudge when I was kid but I would definitely pick Fudge over Charlie Brown because this was when I was just learning how to read. Fast-forward, I am now in high school and I have actually most of your books! Forever and Then I Again Maybe I Won't are my favorites. The second one was interesting because I liked how you wrote from a boy's point of view for change. Freckle Juice was another one I really liked growing up too. With Fudge, I've read every single one of them and still my first copy of Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing. I wish you could finish the series though if you haven't already! Superfudge to me is the best because Peter's thoughts are always so funny and relatable. I'm an only child and I don't have any siblings but your books have changed my life and sometimes I wish I had a brother like Fudge regardless of how annoying he is. Who knows maybe the series might become a movie someday? I'll watch it! Bye!

Dear Judy
I am an Elementary School Librarian. I just saw your FB post that you are offering an online Master Class on writing!! Our District has just decided they have to go full distance learning starting in August due to the pandemic. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if I could provide your Master Class to our District. I know there is a fee, but is there a way to offer it to our 3-8 graders at a discount? Our libraries have all your books and I would think this would be so great for the students to hear from a famous author on her successful writing process and then work your practices into the teaching curriculum - the possibilities are endless!!
Please consider this option and let me know how we could make it happen!!
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Blume,
I just finished your book Summer Sisters. So many times I was thinking, "boy the authors name seems so familiar". I get to the end and low and behold I find out you were the one who wrote "Are you there God? Its Me, Margaret". And it all made sense. I loved that book when I was a young girl (no one was talking about things you mentioned in that book) and I loved this book too. Isn't it funny in life how we are all searching for that friend again we had in our younger years that just "got us". Something that touched me personally in your book was the part about Nathan. I have a son who has severe autism and is mentally about 2. He has changed our whole family in so many different ways and you truthfully touched on that. So many stories gloss over the impact of a special needs child and how different people react in the family and out in public. Thank you for your stories.
Sheridan
Dear Ms. Blume,
First, I would like to say how much I love reading your work! All of your books are on my shelf. My favorite is Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great. My name is Sheridan and I am 12 years old. I live on the coastside in California.
I have been working as a summer intern for a Literary Magazine called vyris. We are in the process of getting submissions and would like to invite you to be a part of this project! No fees, no ads, no donations - just a literary magazine reflecting our times during COVID-19. This will be free for all to view online or print when it is completed! It would be really special to have you share your feelings. It could be something as simple as a paragraph about how you feel/what is different in your life, a couple of jokes, or a short story about the coronavirus, no longer than 500 words. There are more prompts on the website. I know you are a very busy author, but if you had the chance to quickly write some thoughts down about the coronavirus, we really would love them! We really need anything we can get.
Please see the guidelines at www.vyris2020.com.
Submissions go to: vyris2020@gmail.com
Please share this with people of all ages! If you want to submit, I would recommend getting it in by next weekend. It would be really awesome if your work was in our magazine!
Sincerely,
Sheridan

I love you Judy Blume! Just as much today at the age of 51 as I did at the age of eight or nine when my fourth grade teacher read the book Tales of a fourth grade nothing. I remember my cousin asked if I had ever read the book Are you there God, it's me Margaret. I was in fourth or fifth grade add completely Fascinated and interested. I could not wait to get my hands on that book. She told me and my mom all about the book. My mother loved to read and I inherited that love from her . Glad my mother did not censor what I read or what I thought about anything. She always encouraged us to have an opinion, respect others opinions and stand up for what you believe in. I love all of your books I have read all of your books and I will continue to read your books. Thank God for people
like you. I feel like for a kid to really experience childhood even Adulthood they to read your books. People who are worried about censoring your books are people who have some kind of an ego problem. They are the people that try make everything bad and they are the ones who have children who end up doing ridiculously stupid things because their parents have forbidden to learn about things and then the kid goes wild trying to figure out what the big deal is about whatever their parents are flipping out over.
Thank you for being you and being an advocate against censorship and being an advocate for the world children.
Love, Meredith Garcia

Hi. I am so excited that my 8 year old son, Peter, has discovered your books; he's currently reading Fudge, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, and Freckle Juice. Since he has freckles and his friend wants freckles, it was a joy hearing him laugh while reading Freckle Juice. I still have my very tattered, well loved copy of "Are you there God, its me Margaret." I was wondering if you will ever write a boy right of passage book? Voice changes, hormone over loads, facial hair, etc? Be safe and thank you for your timeless books. (I still have my Forever book, and when my son is older he can read it and not be grounded like I was, lol)
Madalyn Manning
Judy! You are such an amazing woman! I look up to you so much and I hope you continue to bless the world with your incredible work. You are such an inspiration to me as I can tell how passionate you are about writing. Thank you for all you do. With love, Ms. Madalyn

Hi Judy, you are a fabulous writer! I read some of your books in the early 1980s. Now I have an 8 and 10 year old and they are reading your books! Thanks for your wonderful stories.
Catherine
Hi Judy,
I'm a "grown" (23-year-old, mostly wide-eyed) woman, who doesn't really believe in fan mail, or celebrity in general. But I do believe in thank you notes. I've been reading your work since I was eight years old. I was an extremely lonely, bullied girl, who had distant parents, and in your work, I found that girls my age could have complexity and nuanced struggles, all without apology or explanation. Frankly, you're a little sneaky in your omnipresence in American feminine adolescence--I was inspired to write this after re-watching the OC pilot. Wild.
I'm sure every millenial woman writes to you saying how much you influenced her sense of self, but it's the detail of your writing that has always stuck with me. I'm half-white, half-Latina-- Margaret's reflections on her parents differing religions, especially how "Christian families went to the Y, but Jewish families went to the JCC", were always so striking and funny, without ever being tokenizing. Even though my multicultural background wasn't the same as Margaret's, your generosity in exploring the nuance in her background struck across demographic. Again-- thank you.
Wishing you the best always,
Catherine

Judy,
I loved reading your books as a kid, and now I've been reading the Fudge books to my five-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter. Spending time with the Hatchers has become the highlight our day. It's such fun sharing these books with my kids. Another generation of young readers are learning to love to read thanks to you!

I have just read "Blubber" and concluded that Wendy is a young sociopath. The group tortures are horrifying. Teachers and bullying survivors, what needs to be done to prevent these monstrosities?

What was your favourite book that you wrote??
Thanks Coraline.
