FEAR THE DROWNING DEEP IS OUT NOW! That’s right…NOW!
Fear the Drowning Deep display at Books of Wonder!
And the week leading up to the book’s launch was…more than a little crazy.
It started with Harry Potter World:
Knight bus!
Outside Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes
Two Slytherins headed for trouble!
And it continued with WHALES! And other amazing new watery friends, of which Fynn and Bridey (from Fear the Drowning Deep) would no doubt approve:
The week continued when we went up to NYC to visit some of my publishers–I saw all but two of my editors this past Friday, which makes me a very lucky lady indeed!
Having lunch with my editor Kate, from Roaring Brook!
My editor at Razorbill, the brilliant Jessica!
My editors at Sterling Children’s–both former (Mel) and current (Eliza) came out to support my debut!
My YA agent Lucy, and my editor Jessica- I think we make a great team!
My PB agent, Christa, and my editor on FEAR, Alison! They helped shape my debut with many rounds of editorial brilliance!
Here are a couple more snapshots of the launch–because this post doesn’t have enough visuals yet, does it? π
Signing stock for Books of Wonder!
In conversation with fellow 2016 debut author Heidi Heilig!
Lastly, the week culminated in my husband and I celebrating our *5th* wedding anniversary, so here’s a throwback photo in honor of that!
Wedding at the beach!
It’s been a crazy week, but the fun isn’t stopping yet–I’ll be speaking on a debut author panel & doing critiques at the SCBWI Mid Atlantic fall conference this coming weekend! Can’t wait!
Wow! So much fun and excitement! You were really busy! I’d love to read more about the whole process and the behind the scenes stuff π And can’t wait to read about your SCBWI Conference. We have the East Coast one here, but I’ve never been to it. So expensive @-@
Ellie, I feel like I’m a month behind on sleep after having all that stuff crammed into such a short space! π But it was still really cool! I’m so excited about SCBWI, especially about the professional critiques I did for their members; I can’t wait to sit down with them and chat about their mss! I’ll try to remember to post about the conference after–I hope you get to go to the one near you someday!!
