Check this out . . .
"Nancy Conescu at Little, Brown for Young Readers has preempted world rights to The Prophecy of the Sisters, a YA gothic thriller trilogy by debut author Michelle Zink; Steven Malk at Writers House made the six-figure deal. The first book in the trilogy, which blends supernatural elements with romance, is scheduled for spring 2009, with books two and three to follow in spring 2010 and 2011."
I've been sitting on this for like three weeks, but the news is official now!! For those of you who don't know this story, Michelle and I got to be friends about nine months ago when we were both doing revisions for Writers House agents who had not actually offered to rep us yet. (A very rewarding, but utterly nerve-wracking process.) I was luckier on that end--I only worked with Jodi for about three months before I got a contract. Michelle worked on hers for seven months. But she's been luckier (i.e. more talented;)) than me on the other end. Her book sold at pre-empt in four days for a fabulous deal!!
Please join me in wishing her a hearty congratulations!!
Congrats Michelle!!
Ciao!

Aw, thanks, Aprilynne!
I feel I must make a small correction, though - I actually worked on revisions for 10 months.
Yep. Crazy but true.
And obviously worth it!
Wow. Big time congratulations to Michelle Zink! That's just...awesome!
Don't worry, Aprilynne. Your time is a'comin'!
It most certainly is, Aprilynne!
Michelle, I'm over the moon for you! Congratulations on your much-deserved success. Brava!

Thanks, again, guys!
This is off topic, but Aprilynne, I am sure I speak for most of your readers when I ask the following question:
How the heck is the baby doing? Huh?
Where are the baby posts? Pics! We want pics!!

Wow! Congratulations to Michelle Zink! I always like to hear a success story.
