In Which I HAVE A BOOK DEAL!

I've had to sit on this news for a bit, but as the title says, ALL THAT REMAINS sold!!

Publisher's Marketplace Announcement



Okay, backing up a bit.

I signed with Agent Mollie at the very end of January. There was excitement already about ATR with some editors, etc, so we wanted to revise ASAP and get it out.

So I finished up revisions and we went out on sub on Valentines Day.

And for two weeks my emotions were up and down like crazy. I'd heard being on sub is rough, but they weren't kidding. I'm a person who pretty much lets things roll off me. Rejections? Not a problem. Waiting on responses? Sure, I can handle that.

But submission? I haven't been that stressed in a long, long time.

Though, to be fair, I think a large chunk of my stress was because everything was happening so, so fast. I mean, I had sent out my first query for ATR in November, and here we were, on sub, three months later. Super zoomy fast. Which gave me no time to adjust to anything.

But, luckily for me, it didn't last long, because on the last day of February HarperTeen offered!

I spoke to Mollie right away.

Then I called Twin. I was shaking I was so excited. After I told Twin, I called my mom. She kept having me repeat my news. And then she told my dad and my other sis and I told Brother when he got home.

But of course, I had to swear them to secrecy until we accepted and I had the go-ahead to announce.

And we did accept! And here I am announcing and I'm so super excited to work with Editor Alex and launch ALL THAT REMAINS into the world.

I hope you'll like it. I think you will.

And as always, thank you for reading. If you're trying to reach this point yourself, just keep trying, just keep putting yourself out there. You can do it.
