I've been sitting on this news approximately forever, but now that the contracts are signed my agent tells me it's time to share --

Knife has been bought by Orchard Books in the UK, and will therefore be available in Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand* by the time the summer of 2009 rolls around.

I am very, very happy about this.

* And potentially any number of other English-speaking places as well, though I'm not holding my breath for Namibia or the Falkland Islands.

Score! Oh, that is sweet.

And hey, who says they don't need a distraction out there on the Falklands? I mean, what else are they gonna do, sit around the fields and watch the wool grow?

Thanks so much! And one of these days we really must meet -- it's scandalous to be living so close together and not have run into each other in RL yet!

Brilliant news! It'll be lovely to see it on the shelves over here. :)

Does it mean you'll get a different cover, too?

Date: 2008-04-07 06:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rj-anderson.livejournal.com
Yes, it does! It will be its own edition -- maybe even a totally different size/format from the US one, since they're different publishers. But both will come out in hardcover first, and then paperback some time later (probably after the hardcover of Book Two comes out).

I wonder if one will be my secret favorite, or whether, like children, I'll just love them both for what they are? It's exciting to think about getting two cover designs and illustrations, in any case.

Thank you so much! Oh, and before I forget, I just finished A Posse of Princesses (which I quite enjoyed) and am happily immersed in the first hundred pages of Crown Duel (which is fabulous so far).

Thanks so much! I can't wait for you to read it when it's all done -- it's changed so incredibly much, and yet I do think it's for the better (albeit as a certifiably middle grade novel now, rather than an adult one).

BTW, I appreciated your candid post on revision today. It's always encouraging when other writers share their struggles -- I hope the process goes well for you, even if it seems overwhelming right now. (Though I'm presently in the opposite position, where starting a new book seems hopelessly overwhelming and revisions almost a breeze by comparison.)
