In support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, join YA authors Rocky CallenAnnie CardiKim DeRoseMadeline Claire Franklin, and Hannah V. Sawyerr as they discuss with moderator Vicki Pietrus (Rise: A Feminist Book Project) the importance of representing sexual assault in YA fiction.

Because in an era of book banning, it’s time to be outspoken.”

The Wilderness of Girls Preorder Links

A note about pre-orders: If you’re already planning on picking up a copy, pre-ordering it would be greatly appreciated! The number of books ordered early by retailers gives us an idea of whether or not folks are excited about the book. If a publisher sees lots of advance orders, it may encourage them to invest more to promote the book and to help it find even more readers.

Book Deal

I have a book deal!

It went to auction!

And we’ve already sold a bunch of foreign rights! (For some reason Brazil/Globo Livros is not listed, but we sold rights to them at auction as well!)
