Q&A for How to Write a Fan Letter (Preteen)

They may not reply to your letter at all. They get a ton of letters and may not have time to respond. If they do respond, it may take 2 or 3 weeks for them to reply to your letter.

Just be yourself. They get letters daily, so I’m sure they’ve seen worse than what you could possibly say.

Yes, but first decide whether you want to address your letter to one member or the entire band.

Yes. Nintendo is a large company though, so you may need to email them as well.

First name, age, and country is the limit to how much information you can add in a letter. Do not add private information information, such as your phone number.

It depends entirely on the celebrity, but your best odds will be if you include a postage-paid return shipping package with the item. Some celebrities are reluctant to autograph items because the items are often turned around and sold on eBay.

First you follow the instructions above, then figure out their mailing address.

Just write to the author as you would write any other artist or celebrity. Have a language-savvy friend or family member check the letter over first to ensure proper spelling, grammar and formatting.

If you do not know their address try to find another way to contact them. Email and social media are good ways to contact people.

Celebrities get a lot of fan mail, so sometimes you won't get a response. You can try writing another letter, you might get lucky the second time.

You could try this: "Hi Celebrity, I absolutely love your work. But I think it will help your career if you never take up drinking and partying all night because then you won't risk dying young and your art will continue to amaze us for many decades to come. Yours, A Sincere Fan".

Do not put your phone number in a fan letter, or any other personal information, such as your email, school, etc. You never know who might end up reading your letter.

They're real addresses in the sense that they actually exist, but they're not the star's home address. Usually fan mail is directed to the studio where the person works or the office of their publicist or manager.

Handwritten letters are more personal, but you can also email her or contact her through social media. Be sure to talk to a parent or other adult first, and whatever you do, don't send her a letter, an email and contact her on social media, because you'll probably freak her out. This also depends on whether or not she has a personal website; if she does, then you will be able to email her, but if she doesn't, then a letter or social media post will work out better. If your handwriting's not so good, typing would work better.

You could ask him/her whether they would be at any conventions or events where you could meet them. But do keep in mind that they’re very busy people, and may not meet have a one-to-one meeting with you.

It doesn't matter how far away your idol lives, as long as your letter includes proper postage to reach its destination.

If you want to ask an opinion, say, "I've been thinking about (topic) and was wondering what your thoughts are on this. I admire your opinions greatly, and thought that you would be a good person to ask."

You may try the first time, if they respond then great! If they don't, then you are welcome to write another mail. But if they still don't respond, don't get discouraged, they get many fan mails every day, so they may not have time to read them all. But don't try to send them to many letters too soon one after another or at the same time, because it can annoy the celeb and give them a less likely chance to read it.

You can write a fan letter to an actor, but do not include your email or other personal information such as your phone number. You never know who will end up reading it and it's better to be safe than sorry.

You can for example write: "Hi, my name , and you're my favorite YouTuber! I really love your videos and I've been keeping up to date with them all! I really like . It's one of the best series/videos I've seen! Keep up the great work!"
