My BIG news!
Posted by annastan on July 7th, 2010. Filed under: Announcements, Contests.Okay, I know I already posted today, but I just couldn’t restrain myself. I’ve been sitting on this news for weeks and it’s finally official. I sold my first book!
Here’s the listing in today’s Publishers Marketplace:
Anna Staniszewski’s debut MY UN-FAIRY TALE LIFE, about a 12-year-old who goes on missions to save magical kingdoms — but with bloodthirsty unicorns, manic clowns, and an insanely useless gnome sidekick, she’s not sure she’s cut out for the job anymore, to Rebecca Frazer at Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, by Ammi-Joan Paquette of Erin Murphy Literary Agency (NA).
Woohoo! I can’t stop grinning. I could go on and on about the details, but for now I’ll just say how excited I am that my little book found a home! And what better way to celebrate the birth of a book than with more books? Yup, I’ll be having a celebratory book giveaway, so stay tuned for more details. In the meantime:
