FanX 2016
Why yes, I will be attending FanX in March. How did you guess?
World Horror Con 2016
World Horror Con will be in Provo, Utah, next year, from April 28–May 1, 2016, so I’ll be attending. It’s such an honor for them to choose the week of my birth to celebrate horror and all things weird and creepy and murdery and . . . wait a second.
Deal announcements!
Good things seem to come in pairs lately, at least when it comes to book deals. Congrats to both Ginger and Marin on their fantastic new books!
Cover reveal!
Take a gander at this beauty. HOW TO FIND A FOX by Nilah Magruder will hit stores in October 2016. That means you’d best pre-order now.
Salt Lake Comic Con 2015
I will once again be gracing Salt Lake Comic Con with my presence, so if you’re going, make sure to stop by one of the panels I’ll be on because I’m totally the reason you’ll be there and not for some really famous actor, right? RIGHT?
Deal Announcements!
I am burning it up this summer with two 2-book deals for clients in June and July, including one at auction. (Technically, it’s because my authors are so amazing that everyone wants to buy their stuff anyway, but shhh don’t tell them that or I’ll be out of a job.)
Deal Announcement!
I’m super excited for Nilah Magruder, whose sweet and adorable picture book Fox Hunt just sold to the Macmillan imprint Feiwel & Friends!
Needless to say, Nilah has had a very good month. (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, scroll down a bit to read more about her McDuffie Award win.)
Covers revealed for Ashley Evanson’s HELLO, WORLD
The covers are finally here for the four board books in Ashley Evanson’s HELLO, WORLD series. Aren’t they gorgeous?
Preorder now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite independent bookstore. Or get your copies when they hit stores on October 20, 2015.
And the winner is . . .
Nilah! Yep, she beat out the big guys and took home the McDuffie Award for Diversity, which is a huge honor for any comic writer, let alone a webcomic. Yay Nilah!

McDuffie Award nomination for client Nilah Magruder!
New client Nilah Magruder is a finalist for the inaugural Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity. The winner will be announced February 28, 2015, at the Long Beach Comic Expo. She’s up against some big names in the comic industry, including the comics Ms. Marvel, Shaft, and The Shadow Hero. Go read her fantastic webcomic, M.F.K., now so you can say you read it before it was cool. Instant street cred (at comic conventions, obv).
Note: I represent her picture books and YA novels, while Jean Sagendorph handles her comics/graphic novels.
Salt Lake Comic Con FanX 2015
I’ll be tottering around Salt Lake Comic Con all three days of the con, from Thursday, January 29–Saturday, January 31. I might even have a surprise to give away . . .
Cover reveal for Betsy Schow’s SPELLED:
Isn’t it glorious? Now go forth and preorder (from Amazon or Barnes & Noble) because my authors’ books are obviously awesome. But seriously, this one is hysterical.
Deal announcement!
I’m excited for everyone to see Ashley’s amazing—and super adorable—illustrations. Check out some examples of her work: 
I’ll be at Salt Lake Comic Con from Thursday, Sept. 4 through Saturday, Sept. 6. Stop by some of my panels and say hi!
