It’s been posted in the official places now, so I can share: I’ve just accepted a three-book deal with Disney-Hyperion!
The Publisher’s Marketplace announcement:
Megan Crewe’s THE WAY WE FALL, in which a 16-year-old challenges her fears, finds a second chance at love, and fights to keep her family and friends safe as a deadly new virus devastates her island community, to Catherine Onder at Disney-Hyperion, in a significant deal, at auction, in a three-book deal, for publication in Winter 2012, by Josh Adams at Adams Literary (NA).
I am sooo excited to be working with Catherine and Hyperion, and to know I’m going to get to share three more books with you! THE WAY WE FALL (which, BTW, is the project I talked about here) has been consuming my brain for quite a while now. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do.
(For the curious, the second of the three books will be a sequel to THE WAY WE FALL and the third is yet to be decided.)
I’d say more, but a large part of my mind has been doing little more than going EEEEEEEEEEEE! since the deal was finalized on Wednesday, which makes coherency a little difficult. 😀 So I’ll just invite you all to happy dance with me!
Awesome news! Congrats. It was great meeting you the other night at the #torkidlit tweetup.
Thank you! It was great meeting you, too!
Congratulations, Megan! THE WAY WE FALL is soooo amazing, and we’re soooo thrilled for you!!!
