Hi
i have never wrote a letter or requested an autograph before, and im quite scared
It's pretty easy to write a letter once you get the hang of it! I always first introduce my self, my name and age. Then I tell them how much I love their work, including specific things that they did or doing at the moment. If I can relate to them in a way or interest I include that in the next paragraph. Then I ask, "if it is possible could I get an autograph from you, if possible" or "Could you please sign my photos, if you have time" Then I tell them again how much I love their work.(A small sum up) Then I sign my name!
do you need to send a picture?
It depends. If there at Via Venue, send a photo. I send a photo if they are known for preprints and sign if you send them something (Ex: Miley Cyrus) or at Via Venue.
You also need to include a SAE(self addressed envelope) and 2-3 IRC's(International reply coupon) if you are in a different country from them. Or you include a SASE(self addressed stamped envelope) with 2-3 39 cent stamps, if they are in the same country. I send everything in a 10x14'' and use a 9x12'' SASE or SAE.
Hope this helps
