Level: Intermediate
Many authors have their own websites including Louis Sachar. From his homepage you can click on Holes: The Book. There's a very useful Q&A section which has more about writing this book (including how long it took).
HOT TIP: If you want to find an author's website you could try these things:
- Just type their name into a search engine. Often it will come up at the top of the results list!
- If there are too many websites (which there might be if the author is very famous) you can also add the words official site onto your search e.g. J.K. Rowling + official site
- Sometimes the publisher of an author will also have some great info and interviews at their site - so look for publishers names in the URL address.
- To find information about New Zealand authors, such as V.M. Jones - check out the NZ Book Council site. You can select the authors name from the alphabetical list.
