Book news

Hello!

A few months ago I asked for help with refining a character who had ITP in the young adult novel I was writing and many of you generously shared your stories and experiences.

I wanted to pass along the good news that the book, Hold Me Like a Breath, has sold to Walker-Bloomsbury and will be published in Winter 2015.

This is the [url=http://https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18584521-hold-me-like-a-breath] link to the book's GoodReads page[/url] in case you want to read more about it -- it's too early for it to be up on Amazon or such, but if you're interested I'll keep you posted.

Thank you again for all your help!

Good for you Tiffany! My partner is also a Walker-Bloomsbury YA author - Patrick Jones. Please keep us posted.

Tiffany, Patrick is wondering who is your editor at W-B?
Erica

Hi Erica,

I'm with Emily Easton at W-B.

What a small world! Who is his editor? I hope Patrick's and my paths cross at a book event someday! I've read and really enjoyed his The Tear Collector!

Best,
Tiffany

Good for you, Tiffany! Congratulations! Let me know when it's available.

I may ask you guys for advice one day. I have wanted to write a book for years and yesterday, just came up with the subject matter and title.

Patrick was with Emily too. I passed along your reply.

Do they accept unsolicited manuscripts? I have three books on the go!

Thanks, Sandi! And absolutely!

(Titles are always my kryptonite, so I'm jealous you've got yours already!)

What a small world!

Hi Cindy,

Hooray on have three finished books! That's huge. I just did a quick Google and it appears that Bloomsbury doesn't accept unsolicited manuscripts. Best of luck with your submissions!

Ha, don't be jealous! I've still got thousands of words and thoughts to put together. I used to be so good at writing, then got a job working with numbers. Flattened me out totally as far as writing skills. Now that I don't have that job anymore, maybe I can write again.

Good luck with your sales!
