# How to Send a Fan Letter to Dav Pilkey

Write and mail a Dog Man or Captain Underpants fan letter to Dav Pilkey through Scholastic's official author-mail route.

## How it works
1. **Personalize the fan-letter starter.** - 
2. **Have an adult review it if a child is writing.** - 
3. **Preview the PDF and enter sender details.** - 
4. **Pay to have PostalForm print and mail the letter through Scholastic.** -


## Form summary
Write a fan letter to Dav Pilkey, preview the PDF, and have PostalForm mail it to Scholastic's published author-letter address. Scholastic says it forwards letters addressed to its authors, but it cannot promise that an author will respond.

A memorable letter can name a favorite Dog Man, Cat Kid Comic Club, or Captain Underpants moment, explain why it mattered, and ask one short question. A parent or guardian should review a child's message and return address before ordering.

Scholastic suggests enclosing a postage-paid return envelope marked with the author's name when seeking a reply. PostalForm sends only the printed letter and outer mailing envelope, so this workflow does not satisfy that return-envelope request and cannot promise a reply.

## What you need
- A favorite book or character
- One specific personal detail or question
- Parent or guardian review for a child's letter
- Sender name and return address

## Data collected
- Editable fan-letter body
- Optional signature
- Sender name and return mailing address during checkout

## Where it gets mailed
Mailing destination:
- **Dav Pilkey**
- c/o Scholastic Inc.
557 Broadway
New York, NY 10012-3999

## Packet order
- Cover sheet (auto-generated)
- Completed form PDF

## Common mistakes
- Expecting a guaranteed reply.
- Assuming the outer return address is the postage-paid return envelope Scholastic requests.
- Including a manuscript, valuable item, or sensitive personal details.
- Skipping adult review of a child's return address.

## Agent summary
Human-facing fan-letter workflow to Dav Pilkey through Scholastic. State that Scholastic forwards author mail but does not promise replies, and that PostalForm does not enclose the requested postage-paid return envelope.
