So last Wednesday, I got an email from my agent with the subject “Offer!” that I did not even notice because she has my last WIP and I was totally waiting and hoping to hear from her about that. It didn’t occur to me to expect an offer on the book on sub, because I just never stopped to consider that it was possible and focused on book #2 in the series instead. (It could work as a stand alone, so not as insane as it sounds.) And then I read the email and it definitely said we had a two-book offer on the table.
And so this was me:
and also this:
I’ve just accepted a 2-book deal with Kensington Publishers for I WANT YOU TO WANT ME and I NEED YOU TO NEED ME!!!!
Here’s the Publisher’s Marketplace blurb:
I WANT YOU TO WANT ME is slated for publication in the Spring of 2017, and I’m hugely excited to be with Kensington!
I am so thrilled for you! And Spring 2017. Why do these releases have to be so far away? Mine is fall 2016 and I’m already dying.
Patience seems to be the one quality that authors need, and sadly it’s the one we lack most.
