Authors are fabulous

5 Days until LA SCBWI…

In publishing news, I’m happy to show off someone I really admire. Lauren Oliver is a writer, but she used to be an editor. Not just any editor, the editor that acquired The Naughty List for Razorbill! That permanently cements her atop the list of people I love and adore!

Well, Fancy Lauren wasn’t just editing books… she was writing Fantastic ones! Her debut novel, Before I Fall, will be released in the Spring. And from what I hear, it’s amazing!!!!!!! If you get a chance check out her blog for some BIG NEWS!!!! Not only is Lauren getting multiple book deals and crazy cool blurbs, she’s rubbing elbows with bestselling authors (Jay Asher!). Because soon enough… she’ll be there too!

Congrats, Lauren!

P.S. OMG SCBWI!!!! So excited!!!
