Reminder: I'll be chatting on October 24th at the readergirlz group forum about Dramarama, The Boyfriend List, How to Be Bad, Disreputable History, whatever else! Ask me, and I'll answer.

8:00 PM eastern, 5:00 pacific -- but I may be a little late! I have a scheduling issue. So if YOU'RE running late, log on anyhow. And if you're there early, hang out -- I promise I'll be there, and will stay for a full hour.

It's all on MySpace. Just friend ReaderGirlz and their group forum (you have to do both!) -- and then every SINGLE NIGHT IN OCTOBER, you can chat with a different teen author. It's a celebration of
YALSA's Teen Read Week.

Here's the coming line-up -- everyone at 8pm eastern.

October 21. Sonya Sones
22. Lisa Yee
23. Carolyn Mackler
24. E. Lockhart
25. Janet Lee Carey
26. Gaby Triana
27. Lauren Myracle
28. Holly Black
29. Cynthia Leitich Smith
30. Dia Calhoun
31. Stephenie Meyer

Now, it's not SUPER obvious what to do, so this is it:
Go to readergirlz group on myspace, once YOU are signed in to myspace. (remember, make sure you have followed the instructions above re: friending and joining readergirlz).

At the readergirlz group site, scroll past the Welcome and Member faces down to the forum.
Find the thread entitled “October 24th, E. Lockhart” (or the date and name of whatever other author you are checking out) and double-click it.
At 5:00 PDT / 8:00 EDT, the chat starts and I'll say hello. You can post questions and I'll answer them. To see the answers, return to the forum and refresh.
