I would take a writing seminar from Anne Rice, because not only is she one of my favorite novelists, she also seems like a fascinating person!
Twitter: @ladystardust25 (By the way, I just went to retweet about the contest, only to see you haven't tweeted about it yet, lol!)
I'd take a writing seminar from Sarah Vowell because her books have the perfect combination of geekery, dark humor, and insight. And even if my own writing didn't improve, I bet she'd be hilarious the whole time.
@twoshowdays
I'd take a seminar from Tennessee Williams. Even his stage directions are beautiful and so insightful to read!!
@mrtylermartins
I'd take a seminar from Francine Pascal, the creator of the Sweet Valley series. I'm not even joking. Because oh my god, I loved those books, and I'd love to hear more from the brain that spurned them.
@judgementali
Michael Cunningham. Not only my favorite author but also the most emotionally intelligent person on Earth. He is a deity and the few times I have been in his presence have been religious experiences.
@Scamandalous
I would love to take a seminar from Roald Dahl, I want to know how he came up with such magical stories such as Matilda. I can map my childhood in his books that I read, so great. @ktflood.
I would take a writing seminar from Ian McEwan. I want to know how he writes those crisp, lean sentences of his.
@atweetnextdoor
Suzanne Collins, because I am re-reading the Hunger Games now and dang they are good.
Extra entry for Tweeting, please
I would take one with Tom Stoppard. I know he doesn't write novels, but his writing is truly inspired and thought-provoking and brilliant.
I know its cliche but probably JK Rowling. I consider the Harry Potter series to be pretty much perfect books in every way.
@famousinny
Well, this is hypothetical and I know I won't be able to actually take a seminar from JD.
Last night, I saw "An Early History of Fire" , so all I can think of today is "The Catcher in the Rye". So beam me up with a writing seminar by JD Salinger.

Nicholas Sparks - because he seems to have mastered the concept of variations on a theme
I retweeted your tweet today(Thursday)
