Judy says: Thank you, thank you for all your wonderful notes. I only wish I could write back to each of you personally. But in order to start a new book I need serious thinking time, which means less time for e-mail. Hope you understand.
Just want you to know that my assistant and I read this guestbook every day, and try to respond when appropriate. Your continued love and support are a constant inspiration.

Hi Judy blue I love your books
Dear Judy,
My name is Sadie. I am doing a biography on you for my school project. I live in Westfield NJ which is very close to Elizabeth which I know you were born there. We have an author day every year and I think it would be super cool if you came. Thank you so much.

Hi Ms. Blume. When I was a kid, I read Here's to You Rachel Robinson. That book shaped my childhood, and I still think back on that story fondly. I'm hoping that some day in the near future, we get Alison's book. She's been waiting a long time for people to read her story. Imagine, I read that book probably over 20 years ago, so I've been waiting a while. All the words- Niki PS I grew up to be a writer.

Thank you for being an inspiration to me through your books. I love your talented writing. I hope you don't mind, but I listed you in my book as people who inspired me to become an author. I have always loved to flirt with the words on the page, but you have a straightforward creative way of bringing stories to life. I have completed two books in my Zara's Adventure series on Amazon.com. The first Zara's WonderZoo Adventure, and the second is Zara's Camping Adventure. Thank you for being such an outstanding person!
Dear Judy,
I am writing this tell you that are an AMAZING writer. I dream to write books in same way as yours, but am having trouble to do so. I first read your Double Fudge and instantly fell in love with it. I have read it over and over and over again. I found this book when my English teacher was clearing out his cupboard of books from the 70s. I know I'm asking for such an huge request but would you please continue writing(especially the fudge series since I really want another Fudge book, before I grow up fully). If not I totally understand and I would appreciate if you could atleast send me any draft of your 6th Fudge book as I would love to read it.
Thanks,

Dear Judy, I grew up with your books like many other girls in the 70's. I have kept them all, especially my copy of "Otherwise known as Sheila the Great" in hardcover that was given to me on one of my birthdays complete with inscription on the inside cover from the gift giver. I have recently realized that my niece's children can call me 'Sheila the Great,' since I'm their Great Aunt. It's so cute to hear them call me that in their little voices. I can't wait to read your new book you're working on. Thanks for all the great memories.
Hi Judy, i wanted to write to you to firstly express my appreciation for the almost lifelong impact Super fudge has had on my life. I first discovered him in 1986 to 87 in my year 3 of junior school (which i think is 5/6 grade in USA terms?) we had a brand new teacher that school year, Mr Hunter. he was quirky and introduced down time weds and fri afternoons to our close.. in these sessions he would read to us.. Suoerfudge from book 1 to 5.. he would change his voice for all characters.. we were mesmirised!! no teacher had ever done this before. It left an imprint in my heart and when i had my darling twins in 2002 i couldnt wait for them to be that little bit older to read the books to them myself. Imnow 47 years old and re-reading the complete series which brings so many memories of my childhood back to me. Thank you Judy <3
Hello!! Fellow Jersey Girl here who is now 62 and grew up reading your wonderful books!! One book that stood out for me is “It’s Not The End Of The World.” The character that stood out for me was the mother, Eleanor. It would be great if you could write an adult book about her life from her point of view! It would be pretty powerful!! Take care of yourself!!
I’m ten my favorite book is your their god it’s me Margret I hope you can get back to me on my book idea about a girl that has a low thyroid.
Thanks, Autumn
Thanks, Autumn
I am a big fan I I would love it if you could write about a tween girl with a low thyroid like me I know a lot more of peaple must send you book ideas but it would mean so much to me
Dear Ms. Judy Blume,
Hi. How are you doing? My name is Charles Johnson Jr and I remember seeing you in person as a young child at my old elementary school called Norco Elementary School (located in Norco, Louisiana) back in the late 70's or early 80's. I remember how special it was to have a writer visit us and read to us from her book. Today, I too am a writer, I am in the process of having my first book formatted before being published under my pen name "J. Ca'Zonti" and the title is called "Steampunk Jungle-The Whispers of Destiny." It will be available as a hard cover, soft cover, e-book and as an Audiobook. As I got involved in writing I thought about you and wondered what had happened to you. Norco Elementary School is no longer around but the memories I would always treasure. Thank you for being an inspiration to me all of these years. I am planning to write several books as this is part of a series and would be privileged to see what you think of it once the first book releases within a month or two on several platforms including Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, etc.
In closing, Thank you for your time and consideration. Your work has been a part of my childhood and the memories of being able to be lost inside of a book will always be what I remember with great fondness. Take care and God bless.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Johnson Jr

Hello Judy! I have been a fan for more than 45 years! This past holiday, I finally watched “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.”, my favourite book as a kid! Watching the movie took me back to the days that I spent reading all of your books, over and over and over! This was an especially happy “trip down memory lane”. Earlier this year, I lost my Mother, who instilled in me a lifelong love of reading! Your writing is a gift to the world! Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Rose
Dear Judy Blume,
I am so grateful for you and your wondrous books! It all started when I was 9 and received a huge selection of your books from my fun aunt, but I wasn't immediately interested. Years later, at 11, I finally decided to read one of them, Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, and instantly fell in love with the story and the fact that Margaret,(who was my age at the time) was much similar to me.
Within that school year, I continued to read more of your books, often finishing them within days. Some of my favorites/books I have read include Blubber, Then Again, Maybe I Won't, Deenie, Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself, Tiger Eyes, and, of course, Are You There God? It's Me Margaret.
I loved reading every single book and enjoyed each character's unique personality and way of thinking. I hope to continue devouring every word of the legendary Judy Blume as I grow older and choose to read your adult books.
Sincerely,
Ava P your 1# fan 😉

Hello Mrs. Blume,
My name is Catherine Chell and I am a community member of the small, rural town of Fredonia, AZ. I am also a member of our local PTO organization. This year we have been encouraging our students to meet the challenge of reading 400 minutes per month. We have several who have completed this task on a regular basis. In March we'll join the nation with "Read Across America", starting the month with a Read-a-Thon on March 3rd, and then concluding with a Book Fair in the middle of March.
I have always thought it would be fun for our students to have an author come to our school, we live in such a small community that this is not something we have been able to do. I am writing in hopes that maybe we could arrange for a visit from you to our school in March of 2025. Our school has limited resources for guest speakers, however we could arrange for your hotel stay and possibly a few meals. I may also be able to work with our local town librarian and the elementary school in Kanab, Utah for a visit with them, too. Hopefully making a trip like this is worth your time.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for taking the time to read my email and respond to it.
Sincerely,
Catherine Chell

I'd like to let you know how much your books inspired me as a child and I still continue to enjoy reading them. I grew up in Glenview Illinois and during grades School I want a contest for a short novel I had written. As a prize I actually had lunch with you and it was a wonderful experience. I stopped writing for many many years as I got into the workforce and had to focus on that. I'm going through a bit of a rough patch of my life right now but it's allowing me time to start writing again. You are my inspiration!
Just finished Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret. My first time! I’m a 70 yo husband, father, grandfather, doctor, artist, farmer, and diog lover. My life is rich with love and joy. It’s richer now, tho, having finally read this marvelous book.

Dear Judy,
I am writing to you from the UK. I am a 48 year old mother of 2 and recently listened to your podcast with Hilary Clinton and learnt you had a bookshop. I felt compelled write to you and thank you so very much for your incredible books. There is one in particular that made a huge impact of me and that’s “Just as long as we’re together”. I got a copy from school library. I borrowed it over and over until I “forgot” to return it. Not great I realise but at 12 I felt I could not part with it and I never have. I’ve reread this book at various states of my life. I’ve just finished reading it again for the first time in about 15 years. It’s interesting to read it again later in life as mother of an 11 year old daughter. It’s incredible how we can forgot as mothers what it was like to be that age:
I think the book offered me an escape and took me to a different world and I just loved it. It’s my absolute place of comfort nothing beats it.
I have just bought your boxset for my daughter to enjoy and doing so realise there is a sequel to Just as long as we’re together!! All this time my favourite book had a sequel and I never ever realised. I’m now reading “Here’s to you Rachel Robinson”. I find it amazing that 36 years after reading the first book I’m here reading this at the age of 48!
You have made such a profound and positive impact on me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing solice and comfort throughout my life.
With much admiration and respect

Hello, Judy. I wanted to thank you for Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. It brought my daughter and I together with your book and then the movie (which I loved seeing you in the cameo:)). I have a question for you. My sister and I have been going through our parents'deaths and mid- life things, but with humor. We were thinking it would be HILARIOUS to have a Are You Still There, God? It's Still Me Margaret where she's all grown up and in her mid life crisis (perimenopause, parents' deaths, teen kids, etc.). I think it would bring so much joy and humor to the original audience who loved your first classic. I already have ideas, but know it would have to be by you. Would love to see this!
