Mine would be Emily Dickinson because I feel like it would be so interesting to her more about her poetry and it would be amazing for her to see what her poetry has become today.

I would resurrect Jane Austen to understand the state of female authors in that time

Mine would be Chinua Achebe because he is the only writer in whose company reading becomes seemless and effortless for me.

Anne McCaffrey. Her dragons of Pern books I love the most while her son did help and/or write his own books within that series. I would love to have her back to see what other ideas she would come up with.

Definitely Emily Dickinson who deserved better in general.

Franz Bardon, an exceptional author, reading his works which he himself consider his Magnum Opus, were life-changing in vast unbelievable ways for me, my friends and family! I honestly would love to be instructed from a really amazing writer such as him. 10/10 for all his works! You should check him out!
