March is a big time for foreign rights and children’s books, because the largest conference dedicated to international children’s publishing happens at the end of the month: the Bologna Children’s Book Fair<\/a>. Many agents and publishers, including mine, will be heading to Italy to pitch their current and upcoming books to industry folk from all over the world.<\/p>\n

I’ve been getting quite a few e-mails asking about if and when my books might be available outside North America, and in other languages. Unfortunately, I don’t have much (okay, any) control over this. If I had my way, every book I publish would be available everywhere! I can tell you what’s already out there or in the works:<\/p>\n

The Book Depository<\/a> is a great site for buying books, mostly English language, from just about anywhere in the world–they ship to almost every country, for free! They carry Give Up the Ghost<\/i> in hardcover and paperback (preorder) and I’m sure they’ll have The Way We Fall<\/i> once it’s released.<\/p>\n

For foreign language editions, these are the translations that will definitely be appearing<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Give Up the Ghost<\/i>: Currently available in Romania from Leda Books<\/a>; forthcoming in Germany.<\/p>\n


\n(The Romanian version of Give Up the Ghost<\/i><\/font>)<\/center><\/p>\n

The Way We Fall<\/i> (and, in most cases, its sequel): forthcoming in Brazil, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Russia, Slovakia, and Spain.<\/p>\n

Don’t see your country there?<\/b> Don’t worry, if there’s enough interest, books can get picked up in other countries well after they’re published. (Give Up the Ghost<\/i>, for example, had been out for nearly a year when it sold overseas.) As a reader, you can even help the process along. If there’s a book you’d love to see in your country, write to your favorite publishers and tell them so! <\/p>\n

In the meantime, I can tell you that I’m planning a giveaway especially for international readers when the Give Up the Ghost<\/i> paperback comes out. So keep an eye on this blog!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
