I know I'm new, but I just wanted to let y'all know that I just sold my YA book, THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH to Delacorte, the YA imprint of Random House, in a two book deal!!! I can't believe it and am still totally over the moon! My agent, Jim McCarthy, sent the manuscript out to a few editors on Friday for a sneak peak and first thing Monday morning we had a pre-empt offer! Wahoo!!!!! Even better, it looks like they want to put it out hardback in summer of 2008! I'm still stunned!

I found AW just when I was querying and everyone here has been amazing and the advice invaulable! So thanks, y'all!!

That's so awesome. And summer '08? That's pretty quick, too! I'm burning with jealousy of you right now. Enjoy being a pre-published author!
