Hello Stephen King,

I am a student of Sussex Regional High in the town of Sussex, New Brunswick.  If you have heard of it, I’d really be surprised.  We’re a small town in rural Canada, and our greatest pastimes usually have something to do with cows.  It’s the way we roll around here.  Now I have to say that around here many, many people have had their lives affected by your novels and movies.  It seems that every other book I see someone reading is one with the big, recognizable word “KING” written on the cover, and  a large classroom was filled with students watching 1408 and The Secret Window, both of which are amazing and will never be forgotten by anyone there.  You are one of the most talented authors ever, and I know that both my community and my school would be honoured by your consideration of coming to visit.  Your actual presence: Mayhem

Sincerely,
Jenna

Dear Mr. King,

Once upon a time, in a far away land called “Sussex”, a group of students were terribly distressed.  “If only Stephen King would come and visit us!” they sobbed.  But alas, he never came.

The students held fairs promoting his latest works, watched movies based on his writing, held Stephen King book drives, and even wrote an abundance of letters, all in hopes that he would one day grace them with his presence. 

One day, the people of Sussex received wonderful news.  Mr. King had finally agreed to visit their lovely town! They were overjoyed, and celebration reigned! Excitement was everywhere, and preparations for his arrival commenced immediately!

Make this story a reality and we would all live happily ever after.

Sincerely,

Martha

Dear Stephen King,

Hey, I have heard that we want you to come to Sussex.  There are many students and people in the community who have read your books and have watched your movies.  There are so many fans here that it would be a shame if you didn’t come to see them.

Sussex is a little town in New Brunswick, Canada.  It would be the perfect town for a story.  Sussex is a very inspirational place, the people, the landscape, everything here has a story behind it.  Even if you Google Sussex you won’t learn everything about Sussex.  You have to come here to experience Sussex for yourself.

A visit from a man such as your self would change so many people’s lives. To have someone of your stature come here would be amazing.

Thanks for reading my letter,

Jessica

Mr. Stephen King,

In advance I would like to thank you for taking time to read this letter.  My name is Kirsten, and like many in this school, I am a huge fan of your work.  My school is in a small town called Sussex, well know for dairy, a peaceful, relaxing place for a trip. 

My school’s name is Sussex Regional High School, SRHS for short.  A beautiful school, very kind and welcoming.  The entire school has been going crazy over your books and the movies they inspired, we have been watching your movies at lunch, and have had a book drive to get more of your books for the students and faculty to read. 

We have all been enjoying your works very much, but we would be forever grateful if you choose our school o come and talk about your books.  Your books have brought our school closer together.  Even the kids who do not like to read have taking the time to stop and enjoy your books and it would be a great inspiration for many if you were to come to our school.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter, and I sincerely hope you will consider coming to our school.

Kristen

Stephen King,

I am an 11^th grade student from Sussex Regional High School in New Brunswick.  Here in the small town of Sussex, we have taken a great interest in your work.  We have been collecting your books in our school library and we will be having Indigo come to host a book launch for 11/22/63.  Furthermore, we had a film festival, which I attended, at which we watched your movies, “1408” and “Secret Window”.  I had previously seen and loved the two movies.

I am a avid reader and though I have currently never read any of your book, I plan to do so in the future.  I am, however, aware of your great success, and as an aspiring writer, I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet a famous author such as yourself.  Being aware that my school would absolutely love to have you come around next Halloween, it would be a once-in-a0lifetime opportunity for me to meet you, so I would personally find it to be absolutely amazing if you would take my school’s visit request into consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Jenna

Dear Stephen King,

People have been talking about you coming to our town, Sussex.  I think it would be a good idea to come because you would hear a lot of crazy stories from the townspeople, some which you could maybe use in your books in the future.  I’ve heard your books are some of the scariest stories out there.  I personally never read one probably because I would like to sleep with my eyes closed rather than open.  I can get scared like you did when you were little, for example I go downstairs to clean the litter box, I always think there is a monster watching me, even though I know there is not. 

Hope to see you soon.

Evan

Dear Stephen King,

Our town of Sussex is pretty small, we work hard and play hard.  Everyone knows everyone else and we like it that way. 

It would be cool if you came here because you are pretty famous and we don’t get much of that around here.   Congrats on releasing your new book by the way, hope it works out.

Hello from the middle of nowhere,

I wouldn’t blame you if you have no heard of the town of Sussex, located in New Brunswick, Canada.  Before moving back recently, I hardly knew anything about this place.  Although it is a beautiful province, at night it is an ideal place for ones imagination to wonder from place of serenity, to that which may boarder line paranoia.  This fact shows itself on the outskirts of town where every nook and cranny can be thoroughly examined by ones darker outlook.  That is one who knows what most refuse to see. 

Even with those who do not or have not read one of your books, there are a many who have and draw inspiration from what they have read.  As one of life’s greater writers, it would be a real treat if you would pay a visit to Sussex Regional High School.  A place filled with minds waiting to be sculpted by one so blessed in a literary sense.

Jessi

Dear Stephen King,

I’ve never read any of your books yet, but I’ve seen movies based on them.  I like the way you write book in an unorthodox fashion.  I want to read your new released book 11/22/63 because I am interested in finding out what would have really happened if John Kennedy hadn’t been shot. I’ve heard of you for years now but never read anything.  I hope after reading your book I will be more interested in your other novels. Here at SRHS we have had book drives and assembly declared to you.  When 11/22/63 was released in our lobby we sold many copies.  We at Sussex would love to have you here to visit and talk to us about your life and your experiences writing books.  Maybe while you are here you could find some ideas for your next book.

Sincerely,

Bronsen

Dear Stephen King,

I haven’t read any of your books yet, but I love your movies.  I admire how you get the ideas.  We live in a little community called Sussex. It would be a pleasure to have a celebrity in our town as our town is not a place where you see a celebrity every day.  I love the movie 1408 because it was exciting.  Secret Window was good because there was so many twists in it.  We had a book release of 11.22.63.  I think it will be very interesting to read about the life of JFK if he had never got shot in the head that day.  I really do hope you come to our school because I know for a fact it would lighten some faces up.

Sincerely,

Ben

Dear Mr. King,

I haven’t read any of your books, but I watched part of the movie based on your book 1408.  It was good.  I am a student of Sussex Regional High School, from the little town of Sussex New Brunswick.  All the students were asked to write a letter to you, asking if you would please come and visit.  So, if it’s not too much trouble, we would all like it if you come and speak to us.  We have done many things in trying to get you to come, some of those things were, a book release, book drive, movies at lunch and much more.  Everyone has enjoyed doing these things, hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Sarah

Dear Mr King,

Although I have not read any of your books, I have watched the movies The Green Mile, 1408 and The Secret Window which are based on your world class books.  I do plan to read some of your books because our library is bursting at the seams with them.  Also me and the rest of the little town of Sussex, New Brunswick thinks it would be really cool idea if you came to our little town.

Sincerely,
Sean

Dear Mr Stephen King,

My name is Hayden.  I am a big fan of your and right now I am reading “Christine”, and “The Shining”.  My granddad and I love your books.  He even has all of your books locked up in this glass case because he values them so much.  If you want to see lots of your fans, please come and see us at Sussex Regional High School.

Your Biggest Fan,

Hayden

Dear Stephen King,

Please come to Sussex Regional High School.  You’re the best living writer. You can write novels like a productions line and each one is a masterpiece.  It would be great to learn about your writing styles and strategies.  The entire school could learn a thing or two from you.  You probably think that there are an infinite number of small towns, and Sussex is just another one of them, but we’re trying harder than anyone to get you to come and we’re just a few hours drive away.  In fact, we’re having a Stephen King book drive.  Myself, I have sixteen novels.  My favourite is a first edition of “The Shining”.

So once again, please come.

Sincerely,

David

Dear Stephen King,

I live in the small town of Sussex New Brunswick and I’m currently a grade 9 student at Sussex Regional High School. Just recently my school has been talking a lot about you.  We had numerous activities based on you and your books such as having a book drive and also watching your movies based on your books in one of the teachers classroom here.  Although I don’t know much about you and I’ve never read one of your books, I have watched the movie 1408 based on your book and it was amazing!  So it would be a great experience to have you come to Sussex and we would love to have you as one of our guest here.  I know you are a busy man, so thank you for reading my letter.

Sincerely,

Kelsie

Dear Mr. King,

I know you’ve had many people

write to you today,

But please don’t shred their letters,

or throw them all away.

Our greatest wish is for you

to visit at our school.

We think your books are frighting,

and that they’re really cool.

From the first book brought in,

our librarian went on a kick.

And now throughout the school,

you’re our number one pick! J

From your picture in the library,

to your books on every shelf,

We would be very honored,

if you came here yourself.

From,      Amber
