How is the Author communicating with August? If he’s inside the book….how does August know?
Tweaking Daniel’s idea (the podcast leader), perhaps the author is communicating by controlling August’s type writer. OR he writes something on a page or uses his own type writer behind the door and the words are transfered onto the August’s typewriter by moving the keys and/or the stamper thingies, like some kind of magical wireless telegraph…except it is a type writer and not morse code. You know what I mean? August’s typwriter stamps out whatever the author is writing or typing at his end.

You mean a telegram via Morse code?

ah you beat me. I edit my post above while you posted this. Anyway, what do you think?
I also wonder if it goes both ways…if it is possible to use August’s typewriter to contact the author.

It’s possible I guess, but it would depend in which realm the Author is trapped, seeing how there aren’t telegrams in the Enchanted Forest.

It would depend on whether the Author has a corresponding typewriter wherever he currently is trapped. If he does, I’d think the chances are good that is how he communicated with August about Neal being Baelfire.
Potential plot hole: Why doesn’t Henry remember the picture of the Author’s door being in his book? He had read the book many times before August came to town, tampered with the book, and removed the picture of the door.

My guess is that the image of the door was never in Henry’s book. (Also the other images of inside the hat may only show some of the wall, not the whole wall). There is a reason why August and it wasn’t in Henry’s book…because August didn’t put it in, maybe. Or maybe the page appeared to August/boy Pinocchio after he fixed Henry’s book.
Also, even if it is in the book, there is no indication that the author is behind it. Regina and Henry now know this because it was labelled as the author’s door on a post-it note, not because it was shown on the actual page.
I think it is a plot point that might get resolve later on 😉

But August said he had removed the picture from Henry’s book. So unless he was lying again, it really was bound in the storybook before August ever came to SB, met Henry, “borrowed” the book, or tampered with it.

To stay on topic, the OP:
August claims the Author is trapped in the book. How did the Author get stuck in there? How do they (heroes or villains) let him out?
-We already know the sorcerer trapped the author behind the door. The mechanics of how this was done is yet to be revealed.
-Perhaps Emma, the savior, needs to use the book or August’s typewriter to add to the author’s story and write him out of the door. If she does it when she is dark, then the author is released but is compelled by some kind of silly magical rule to let the villains win.
(I have already suggested that the sorcerer might be controlling what the author is writing for his own benefit, but maybe the author has some artistic liscence and he spent many hundreds of years moving chess pieces such as Rumple around to create Emma so that he can eventually be released).
Theory based on: nothing. Just a wild guess.

When I first saw that illustration of Regina’s happy ending (meeting Robin) was taken out if the book, my first thought was that that sounded like something Cora would do. She would never want her daughter to fall in love with Robin.
At one point I also speculated that both Pinocchio and the book’s paper might have been made from the same enchanted tree and somehow there’s a connection. I don’t think that anymore. I think he just wants to become fully human.
I thought it was really compelling that Rumple used those drops to control August in slightly the same way Zelena used the dagger to control Rumple. To me this gave insight into why Rumple seemed so vicious in that scene. Plus, Rumple’s happy ending is fading fast and he’s become desperate.
