FIRST ROUND EDITS OF BANISH ARE DONE!!!!
*dances*
I pushed through the last 3 days, took Friday off from my day job and worked round the clock during the weekend, but I finished my first round of revisions for BANISH on schedule! I hope I made Rockstar Agent and Kick Ass Editor proud.
"Why did you have to turn around your revisions so quickly, Gretchen?"
Amazing you should ask...
BANISH is now scheduled to debut in FALL of 2011!
Yeah, I know. Isn't it crazy? I found out the day before I got my edit letter and after looking through Kristin's notes and discussing changes to the manuscript, we decided that I could hit the deadlines needed in order to move BANISH up a season. I couldn't be more excited because now I'll get to see my novel ON SHELVES just about a year from now. See? TOTALLY INSANE!
So...yeah. That's my news. :)
WOO HOO!!!! Can.Not.Wait to get my hands on this!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Every time you tweet something about Banish (doll shop?!) I'm more excited to read it. And your pub must be really excited about it, too, if they're pushing it up a season!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Lucky you :)
ReplyDeleteDepending on what illustrator my editor picks, my next PB may not be out till 2014! UGHHHHH! I'm jealous.
Congrats!!! :)
