Howdy SuperFolders!!!
We’re CHANGING the way we do TALK TO TOM.
From time to time, Tom will do a LIVE session and answer questions as they come in.
Stay tuned, because the first one is coming up SOON.
Until then:
Here are a few FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, with answers!
Q: Are you writing more books?
A: YES!!!!!!
I hope to write many, many more books.
Right now I do not have a new Origami Yoda book coming out, but I do have:
The Qwikpick Papers series Book 2 coming in spring 2015.
Return of the Jedi, Summer 2015
McToad (a picture book), Fall 2015
A series with Cece coming 2016!
And of course, my other books: Fake Mustache, Horton Halfpott, Stonewall Hinkleman and Crankee Doodle.
Plus, Cece’s book, El Deafo, tells the real story behind Caroline, from the OY books.
Q: How do I write to Tom?
A: Origami Yoda
Abrams/Amulet
115 W. 18th ST
NY NY 10011
Q: Can I email Tom? Can I post my email or home address in a comment?
A: No, that’s not allowed because of Internet privacy concerns. You should NEVER post your home address online ANYWHERE. NEVER! And you should be very very careful with your email address as well.
Q: Is the TalkZone coming back?
A: No, never.
Q: Is this Website shutting down now that the series is over?
NO! The website stays! It’s a place for you guys to show off your Star Wars origami — and me, too, sometimes. So keep folding and submitting and having fun!

jedijoey
Oh, and Tom, I showed my school’s secretary that I’m in Pickeltine and she said that I should try to get you to come. I’d have to write you another letter to tell you, and I know that your publicist decides, but I’ve never met authors before, and if I’d have to pick 2 to meet I’d pick 1. You 2. Riordan. I really hope to meet you soon. And I’m writing a book, so I might meet you that way!
TomAngleberger
Wish I could come, dude, but it looks like I’m booked up!
You could ask your librarians to see about a Skype visit…

TomAngleberger
Hey SFs!
Sorry I fell behind on answering questions. We lost power for almost a whole day here.
Here are some answers:
1) About events, click on EVENTS. If it’s not on there, then it’s not happening in Sept.
2) El Deafo is available at any decent bookstore or online.
3) You do NOT have to buy a book to come to my events. See newest post on front page about that.
Jessenia
