I know I don't have to tell you guys to vote today, right? I'm sure most of you have already taken advantage of early voting or mail-in ballots -- I know I have! So with my civic duty done for the day, I can congratulate JenFW (For the Win!), whose question was overwhelmingly picked by her fellow readers to represent you in my meetings with editors. Woot Jen!
I'm totally late with my post for the day, but I was out to lunch with some Literary Ladies of the Local area, and I got distracted. But! To make up for it -- want to know more about me? Check out CoolStuff4Writers' interview.
I'm answering all sorts of great questions on the teenlitauthors Yahoo group this week, but if you truly can't get enough of Ask Daphne!, and if you live in the Denver area, you can see me -- live and in person! -- at a Northern Colorado Writers workshop on Saturday, October 4th in Loveland, CO.
I left my heart... In San Francisco, of course. Or, ok, maybe not my heart, but certainly a bit of skin off my toe as my sweet little espadrilles rubbed my foot raw as I climbed up and down a few hills today. I'm in town for the San Francisco South chapter of the SCBWI's Agent's Day, and will be speaking tomorrow with a number of my esteemed colleagues.
I'm heading out to San Francisco this weekend for a one-day conference, where I'll be giving a presentation on query letters. To that end, although my presentation will differ, I thought it might be interesting -- both for my readers and for me -- to break down my reaction to a specific query.

Alyson Noel's visit to the Fontana library gets a glowing write-up in a local paper.
I'm off on Wednesday to Los Angeles for BEA and the Pitch Slam Session at the Writer's Digest Books Writers Conference. If you won't be in LA to pitch me, or just say hi, here's a few more upcoming events where I'll be speaking or meeting with authors. Hope to see you at one of them! And if you're part of an organization that would like to speak with me about attending a conference or workshop, please email me at events@ktliterary.com.
