How to get autographs help!

Most celebrities are now charging for autograph requests. You can often purchase a ready autographed photo which is a mass produced copy, but for an original, you just about have to be in their presence to insure it is authentic.

I wrote a letter to John Travolta to get his autograph for a friend. He erplied within a couple of weeks (internationally) with an autographed 5×8.

Most celebrities are on facebook, where anyone can just “write” to them their.

Most celebrities, or at least their agencies, will have their own website, usually www.johnsmith.com where you can just “contact” them there.

I think that if someone wants an autograph, or an autographed picture, then one should make an effort – for the child, it would be part of the learning process and experience. My mom encouraged me when I was a kid: I loved a certain book and wanted to tell the author so. She had me write him a letter, to which he responded in kind. With a whole letter thanking me, and continuing the conversation.

Celebrities are people, too. Some are continuously bombarded daily with requests or autographs in person, and by the unbearable easiness of facebook technology. Would you erply to every single “hit” on your webpage? Would you send a stamped, autographed photo of yourself to everyone who asks for one – especially since they are sold and traded on ebay and the like?

I think a child should think why they genuinely want this signature, put that in writing, and think about what they will do with a signature, or if they are very lucky, a photo, once receiving it.

The rest is details. Why should the person (and they aren’t all super-wealthy, and they don’t all have tons of time on their hands when they are finally home, away from the “set” or “studio”) to write and pay for all kinds of letters to overseas fans.

Send a large, sase A4 envelope, with your child’s handwritten letter. And be very thankful if you get a response.

Good luck.
