It’s Officially Official!

From the tiny bit I’ve seen so far, publishing seems a little more old-fashioned than some other industries, with deals moving forward based on one’s word and a (virtual) handshake. For example, news of Harper Voyager acquiring Polaris Rising was announced well before the contract was officially signed.

In fact, the deal was announced before I even saw the contract. I knew the overall terms, of course, but the nitty gritty details were hashed afterwards by my agent and the publishing house.

Last week I received the super-duper-official signed contract and my very first advance check! I’m officially a Harper Voyager author! It still feels a little unreal and I can’t believe how incredibly lucky I’ve been.

I also got the initial edits back from my editor, so the next step is for me to dive back in and make Polaris Rising even better!

  1. Wonderful news, congratulations! It’s far more than luck though, you’re such a talented writer. I also know that even talent is not enough so there’s an awful lot of hard work honing that talent , so you definitely deserve this. ?
    I’m a fan from the excerpts, I’m so looking forward to the book, and then the series. ?

  2. Wish i could have sent a gify to express how happy i am & how much I’m looking forward to finally reading the end product…or any excerpts you blog! Congratulations once again!!??
