As the webmaster of this website, I receive lots of emails of people from all over the world wanting to write to Tracy Chapman for one or another reason.

Being unable to give them Tracy's personal email adress, I had the idea of requesting everyone wanting to tell something to Tracy to write her a letter.

With all those letters [emails] I'm going to gather I plan to make a book. I will offer a copy to Tracy herself but everyone will be given the opportunity to buy this book online. Why such an idea?

• It gives you the opportunity to speak your heart and story to Tracy
  
  
• Those touched by Tracy's music would be interested in reading other touching stories
  
  
• As if it was still to do, it will demonstrate how much the artist and her music can interact with people's life

• WRITE IN ENGLISH
  
  
• NOT LESS THAN 300 WORDS, one letter should stand in at least one page
  
  
• Please understand that ALL LETTERS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED but a selection of the most moving, interesting, original will be kept for the final book.

Copy paste those fields in your email and send you letter to (and please write "Dear Tracy" in the subject of your email)

Name: City, Country: Age: Email: Letter: ...

Why do I do this and not an easy way to submit via a form? Because it often happens that people make a mistake in their email adress and I can't write them back!

IMPORTANT:

You accept that those personal words and infos may be published.

All fields must be filled, or your letter won't be published (you can ask for your email to be left unpublished in the book)

You'll receive an email letting you know if your letter has been chosen to appear in the book and when/where it's going to be on sale online.

No profit from the sales of the books will be made for the owner of the website, the cost of the book will be the exact cost of its publication fees.

UPDATE: (june 10, 2008):

Since I'm often asked, YES the project is still on, I still need some letters. I think submissions will be open until the end of 2008. Thank you very much for your (upcoming) moving letters.
