If you know Maria Gianferrari, you know that she loves animals. Of the 10 books she has sold for publication so far, every single one has an animal in a main character role. So perhaps you will not be surprised that this trend is continuing with her newest picture book deal. Here's the scoop, as reported in Publishers Weekly: Carol Hinz at Lerner/Millbrook Press has acquired COYOTE MOON and HAWK RISING author Maria Gianferrari's new picture book PLAY LIKE AN ANIMAL, a light-hearted look at all the different ways animals play, with Mia Powell signed on to illustrate. The author was represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette at Erin Murphy Literary Agency, and the illustrator by Alex Gehringer at The Bright Agency, in a deal for World rights. Publication is expected in Spring 2020. This fun and energetic crowd-pleaser is one you won't want to miss. Hooray, Maria! --Joan |
Audrey Vernick has published two solo-written novels and two co-written ones (well, the second one is ALMOST out), and lots and lots of picture books, but announcing new deals for her never gets old! In fact, I am very pleased to announce the TWENTY-FOURTH book she and I have sold together! Here's the full deal announcement: Margaret Ferguson has acquired for her imprint at Holiday House NEVER HAPPENED, a middle-grade novel by Audrey Vernick, in which 12-year-old Army's parents' business focuses on cleaning up after tragedies, Army is grieving about a recent tragedy of her own, and a new neighbor's escape-artist young daughter seems like a tragedy waiting to happen, especially with a hurricane bearing down on their coastal New Jersey town. The book is scheduled for a summer 2020 release. Erin Murphy of Erin Murphy Literary Agency brokered the deal for World English and mainland China rights. I am so thrilled to have paired Audrey with Margaret, who is truly one of the best editors in the business—a real author's editor. And I can't wait for Army to be out there for readers to love as much as I do. Huge congratulations, Audrey! —Erin |
