This was posted on Publisher’s Marketplace yesterday afternoon!
Children’s
Jenny Meyerhoff’s THIRD GRADE BABY, a chapter book about the growing pains of a spunky, clever, resourceful girl whose out-sized personality makes up for her under-sized height, and GIRL IN WAITING, a contemporary YA retelling of the Book of Esther on the high school football field in which a teen cheerleader, caught between first love with a crush-worthy quarterback and familial duty to an Orthodox cousin turned team kicker, sorts out her Jewish identity, to Beverly Reingold at Farrar, Straus, in nice deals, by Michelle Andelman at Andrea Brown Literary Agency (world).michelle@andreabrownlit.com
Now everyone in the publishing world (who read the deals section of PM between yesterday afternoon and right now) knows my great news. Yeah!
PJ Hoover says
Fantastic news! How cool for you. Make sure to print and save it!
Cheryl says
That’s so awesome! How much fun is it to see your big news announced to everyone? Congrats!
Melissa says
It’s a landmark moment! HUGE congratulations!
Brenda Ferber says
Yay Jenny! That’s awesome. I love the descriptions of both books. It’s never easy to capture the whole story in one sentence, but you did it! (Or Michelle did it. Or someone did it! Hmmm?)
Regardless… yippee!
Jessica Burkhart says
Coming to you via Verla…congratulations! 🙂

I’m KVELLING over your good news, Jen. I haven’t checked in for a while, so delighted to drift over here and see your world a little. I love the way they used “crushworthy” in Girl in Waiting — I’m going to use that construction today if I can! Keep on blogging — really fun! Lots of love, Shari
