Book Deals: K. Ancrum's Lethal Lit to Scholastic!

When I was a kid growing up in Elizabeth, and the Scholastic Book Fair came around, I’d show up with that paper catalog and a wild amount of change in an envelope, ordering as many of the deeply discounted books as I could. It was like Christmas, every single time. And the way my friends and I would pool together the little bit we had, to order stuff together as a team…

Well, it’s no surprise books ended up part of my career. Right?

This deal is so special to me. Having a project in my agent life on the Scholastic list feels like the culmination of a long journey. And I’m so honored to see the brilliant Kayla Ancrum there at the end of that daydream filled road.

Kayla will be adapting the wildly popular Lethal Lit Podcast, created by Einhorn's Epic Productions (EEP), into a novel for Scholastic. Set in Tig Torres’ world, it’ll hit bookstores in the Fall of 2021.

You tune in and listen to the podcast just about everywhere, and you can even learn about the television show in development here.

So, keep an eye out! 2021 is going to be a busy, amazing year for Kayla, as we’ll also be seeing the publication of Darling, her reimagining of Peter Pan set in Chicago, in June.

Congrats Kayla! I’m so terribly proud.
