How do I contact an author??

[superloopy]

I am actually trying to get in touch with my cousin who I have lost contact with. I have tried google, facebook, myspace etc but have had no luck.

I found an email address but it no longer works.

I do know that he has had a book publish and have found that online. There doesn't seem to be any information about him or contact details and I was wondering if anyone could suggest what I should try next...

Thanks!

contact the publisher?

[morningpaper]

link us to the book

we are good at stalking tracking people down

The publisher? They might have some info because of royalties from the book.

Try going through the publisher. Contact them and ask them to forward an email.

Wow I wasn't expecting so many replies so quickly. His book was published by Manchester University Press. Who would I contact there?

Contact :

The Editorial Department,
(editor for "Cousin's name")
MUP address

and they will either forward your letter directly to him or to his agent.

Must go to bed (I'm in Aust). I will check again in the morning. Thanks for you help!

Crossed post there! Thank you Countingthegreyhairs!! I will get onto that tomorrow!

I should have asked you all months ago when I first though about getting in touch with him.

MN is just so damn helpful for everything!!!

I think this e-mail address should be for the right person??

Oh well done subtlemouse! I had tracked him down as far as The National Archives, but hadn't found an email address! You're quick!

[superloopy]

Thank you subtlemouse! This is the email address I found too but it didn't work. Just got this message...

"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed."

I guess I will get in touch with his publisher and hopefully track him down that way.
Thanks!!
