Book Deals: Amy Ratcliff's KID'S GUIDE TO FANDOM Acquired by Running Press Kids!

Amy Ratcliff is one of those writers I’ve wanted to work with since I became an agent. Heck, BEFORE I became an agent, during my time at a publishing house, I crossed my fingers a project of her’s would float across the acquisitions table.

Well, a project of her’s hit my agent inbox, and now here we are. And considering this is the fourth Middle Grade non-fiction project I’ve worked on, yes, I am open for submissions when it comes to MG non-fiction.

And I’m so thrilled about this project.

Here’s a blip about it from Publisher’s Marketplace:

STAR WARS: WOMEN OF THE GALAXY co-author Amy Ratcliff's KID'S GUIDE TO FANDOM, a guide to exploring the ins-and-outs of celebrating geek and pop culture, offering practical advice about starting a safe, supportive fan space; writing fanfic or comics; attending a con; creating a cosplay ensemble; and more, with interviews and tips from popular creators, to Britny Brooks at Running Press Kids, for publication in spring 2021, by Eric Smith at P.S. Literary Agency (World).

Also, I’m just so hyped to have a second project with the Running Press team, a wonderful publisher based here in Philadelphia who work on some truly outstanding kid-lit projects.

Be sure to send your congrats to Amy and Britny on the ol’ Twitter, and watch for this delightfully geeky book in 2021!
