Author addresses
By Carolf

I found it! A book I have used and found very helpful for writing to authors is: The Address Book of Children's Authors and Illustrators:Corresponding with the Creators of Children's Literature by R.Howard Blount Jr.
This book features over 100 authors and illustrators who have been surveyed and enjoy correspondence. The book has pictures of them and short biographies. Also, it has VERY helpful hints on proper letter writing skills, tips and information. It was written by a teacher and I highly recommend it. Also, I found parent volunteers to be very useful in checking student letters and helping 1:1 to get envelopes addressed properly. I have solicited donations from parents for stamps and had fairly good luck. Have fun! Watch your mailbox!
