Two yeses from New Delhi, and one from New York

It's official and I can spill! I've signed with Joy Azmitia at Fineprint Literary. She's fabulous, and I'm thrilled! And also I've placed two books with publishers in India--Starcursed (YA Historical) with Rupa Publishing, and Red Turban White Horse (YA Contemporary) with Scholastic India. They should both be out next year--yippie!!!

 But before then I have this thing called a DEADLINE. So--back to work!

UPDATE : Then there's this. As of July 30th I'm back to (shock! horror!) being unagented again. The wonderful rep. I'd signed with at Fineprint Lit., Joy Azmitia, left agenting just a few short months after taking me on. She had good reasons for moving to the house side of publishing, so I'm glad for her. As for me, I've decided not to look for representation right now. Despite best intentions all around, my relationships with agents seem to be Starcursed.
