<p>I read this intriguing nonfiction book for my summer reading, and I wanted to contact the author about a question I had about one of his main points. I found an email, but it’s a college email address (as in, it ends with .edu). Would this email only be used for his students? Would it be appropriate for me to email him using this email?</p>
<p>Sure, that’s fine. A lot of people have only one email address. My dad is a college prof and his university address is the only one he has. He gets mail from lots of different people, not just students and staff.</p>
<p>thanks! :)</p>
<p>Send the email. Worst case the author ignores you. You are ovethinking this.</p>
<p>I actually emailed an author once with some comments about her book and was very surprised and pleased when she replied. She even suggested some other authors I might like!</p>
<p>See if the author has a blog on livejournal and post there.</p>
<p>I emailed the author and got a very nice reply 
turned out well</p>
