Contact Jeanne
E-Mail Jeanne
Jeanne loves to hear from you. She tries to answer everyone who writes to her, but it takes a while. Be patient. If weeks and weeks go by and you haven't had an answer, try your e-mail again.
Please read Answers to Your Questions before you write to Jeanne, so you don't ask the same questions she's already answered.
For Teachers and Event Organizers
School visits
Jeanne is open to invitations for school visits and other events—but much more likely to accept those that don't require air travel to distant places. (She lives in California.) She is willing, however, to do “virtual visits” via Skype. Contact her for fees and other information.
Materials for teachers
Random House has published discussion guides for The City of Ember. Let Jeanne know if you'd like one. You can also find all kinds of creative teacher-developed materials online.
Conferences and other events
