Moscow, Innsbruck, Cairo, Tokyo, New Delhi, Santiago: these are just some of the far-flung places and exotic locales where you will not find Paul J. Iutzi. Instead, you must seek out the little known hamlet of Normal, Illinois, where he lives on a vast, perhaps even palatial, estate, spending most of his time dodging the owners and their dog Chambrié. Between escapades of astounding interest, he manages to find time to both write what will in later generations be seen as the greatest works of the English language since Brother Michael of Sashay-upon-the-Wabe first split the infinitive during that heady spring of 812 A.D.

Shannon O’Connor is a medical editor with a Big Government Agency in Atlanta. Despite a fairly average upbringing, she jumped into fandom with both feet over a decade ago, thanks to The X-Files, and has spent much too much time writing fanfic and doling out heaping servings of Machete!Beta upon request. She’s also been known to hang around Star Wars, Star Trek, and various Whedonverse types, among others. She may be listed here as "copyeditor/layout," but in reality, her main duty with the Daily Dragon staff is to keep Eugie from having a nervous breakdown.
Debbie Yutko lives near Atlanta with her husband, two children, and two cats. When she isn’t gardening, rescuing homeless kittens, or cramming never-to-be-used-again math formulas into teenagers’ brains, she can be found stringing words together at her computer and dreaming of adventures in far-off lands. She is a lifelong reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy and a veteran attendee of Dragon*Con, where she enjoys attending panels and working with the talented staff of the Daily Dragon.

By day, Maggie Caracappa is a humble medical editor at a communications company in Trenton, NJ. Recently, she has started offering her editorial services exclusively to self-publishers on the Services page of her website, The Editorial Corner.
The rest of the time, Maggie sees to the needs of her kitty overlords; polices the grammar on all kinds of published material including signage, menus, and food packaging; and multitasks online, frequently chatting with multiple people while writing fan fiction and watching her favorite shows (
Supernatural, Warehouse 13, and
Doctor Who among them). This is her fifth Dragon*Con, and she continues to be far too excited to be working for the
Daily Dragon.Website: http://editorialcorner.wordpress.com
