Hello I have been a lifelong fan of all your books from the rip old age of 10 to your final book. I absorbed each of them and related to all those girls and women. I remember giggling at the adventures of Fudge and knowing the facade that Sheila wore for the world and Linda in Blubber whose pain I had felt in my younger years. I now have the great honour to share my love of you with my granddaughter who is now turning 10 years old. I am hoping she will get all I got out of all your books. Time for a new generation to have her JB collections.

I had not read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" before I did this. Each Easter I had been getting each of my sons something vaguely religious. When the oldest one was in fifth or sixth grade, I gave him Margaret for Easter thinking it might be slightly devotional. I still had not read it nor known the subject until he was in his early 30's when he asked me about this gift with, "What were you thinking, Mom?"

I wanted to tell you I absolutely LOVED the movie "Are You There God, it's Me Margaret". It took me right back to when I was 12 years old.
I loved all your books, including your Adult books.
Please let me know if you will be writing anymore adult books.
I loved the cameo you had in the movie also.

Dear Judy,
My name is Jasper and I am 26 years old. My mom introduced me to your books when I was a kid. In a time where rights are being repealed and books are being banned it's a blessing knowing that there is somebody like you who has been an activist through your realistic fiction and depiction of such genuine experiences. My wish is that any and all children have access to the guidance that your book affords them. Books that teach you to be kind and know that you're not alone with the thoughts that you once thought were solely yours.
I have dissociative identity disorder, meaning that I share one body with multiple personalities or "alters." The younger members of my system still seek solace and acceptance from your books. They've helped us ruminate on abuse and have unorthodox conversations about having feelings and desires of self exploration and how to do that in a manner that feels safe and innate rather than besmirched by others wrongdoings. For this I thank you immensely. Thank you for sharing your imagination, your vulnerability and for connecting with those who are younger. Wishing you blessings. Shalom.

Hi, Judy,
I'm so excited about the movie version of Are You There, God? It's me, Margaret. coming out today! It was a book I read at eleven and helped me understand my impending puberty. Thank you for writing it.
ou've probably heard this before, but how about a fictional, humorous book on menopause? I'm finding early perimenopause pretty frickin' entertaining and there was almost zero preparation for this. A fun book about the other big "change" in a woman's life would be a great bookend for AYTGIMM. Just wanted to throw this idea out into the universe!

Judy,
Thank you so much for what you gave me in my childhood. I was the kid that hung out in the library reading. I read all your books available. More than once. You gave me a love for reading that has lasted all my 64 yrs!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Dearest Judy,
I'm currently watching your documentary, Judy Blume Forever, and I feel compelled to drop you a note. Thank you. Just thank you. You normalized things through your writing that were frightening and foreign to too many young people. You have always been wholly true to yourself as a writer, and I am so grateful to you for this. I'm also a writer, and I read banned books too.
Maybe I'll be able to visit your bookstore in Florida. That's got to be a magical place.

Good Morning, Judy:
I am 75 years old and felt compelled to write my first fiction novel. I'm almost finished with it. To me, it is a heart-warming story, filled with love, overcoming obstacles with faith.
Trying to write the book my lap top kept crashing. It is on a lick and a prayer. So, I've had to print every page after it was finished to make sure I didn't lose them becaue my lap top crashed again.
I don't have much money. Don't know what step to make next. So far my book is 438 pages long. What do you think I should do next?
Appreciate your advice.
Sincerely,
Gwen

Hi Judy -
I am a 58 year old male and never heard of you until today when my wife and I watched your awesome documentary.
It's official... I am a huge fan !
All the best,
Blair

I just finished your documentary and I really had no idea of the struggle you went through with all the book banning. I'm 55 yrs old and I was one of the lucky ones. When I read all your books in my grade section of our school library, the librarian said I'd have two have a parent come in and give permission ( I was in 4th grade). My Mom went the next day and told her I had no grade limit, I could take out anything I wanted, including Are you there God?, It's me Margaret. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for starting off my love of reading.
