[quote="AMcDaniel"]Hello! I am about to attempt to get my very first autograph and I am planning to ask Ms. Collins, author of the Hunger Games series, to sign my book. I am going to risk not getting my book back but, in my mind, it is worth it if she responds in the affirmative. We live in the same country (USA) so I was wondering what all I should put in the package with my book. How do I self-address a package back to me? Or should I simply send money within my package? Any tips would help. Thank you![/quote]

Be prepared for no response, but I agree, it's better to at least try. I've never sent an item, but I would put the book in a large envelope and inside the envelope, enclose another envelope that the book will fit in.

Sent a letter telling her how much you like her and that you'd like a signature.

Pre-stamp the second envelope and write your address on it so all she has to do is sign and send.
