Abstract	"Working with living authors" means interacting in a professional way with people who are "alive"--not just in the sense that their writing is contemporary and "lively," but in the sense that they are flesh-and-blood people. One can shake their hands and talk to them, and while they have the same needs and emotions as everyone, they also have the ability and the perseverance to put their ideas and their feelings into words that can be read and appreciated by thousands--sometimes millions--of readers, including young adults. In this article, the authors describe the pleasures and pitfalls of working with real authors during school visits. (Contains 1 note.) (ERIC).
