Contact Lauren

Lauren DeStefano breaks into a stone cold panic if she's without internet for more than 5 consecutive waking seconds. For that reason, she reads all of her own emails. Lauren would like to assure you that once you click send, a team of imaginary ninjas races through the internets to gather your message and deliver it personally to Lauren's computer screen. The ninjas are necessary in guarding your email from imaginary fire dragons. Once your email has safely arrived at its destination, it is read in the order in which it was received. There will be no auto-responses from disinterested pirates or cynical ballerinas. Lauren assures you that your email will be read by herself, or Sarsaparilla, the praying mantis she trained to type and feel love.

Lauren welcomes all comments and questions, however, she has taken a sacred oath not to answer any inquiries about her unpublished works. If your email has not been answered, it's for one of the following reasons:

You've requested Lauren's appearance at your school/bookstore/enchanted castle or other such property, in which case your request has been forward to Lauren's publicist, who will be in touch shortly.
You did not ask a question that requires a response.
Lauren's inbox is stuffed to the brim. Please wait a bit.
Lauren has been distracted by a winning Australian lottery ticket, has received a marriage proposal from a faraway prince who needs help managing his financial estate, or the ninjas were slacking on the job and your message was eaten by the fire dragons. Please send your email again.
