That’s right: The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is being published in America by HarperCollins.
HarperCollins. That’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
It’s going to be out in July 2018 in hardback, eBook and audiobook (my first English-language audiobook!).
This deal happened in May last year, so I’ve been keeping it a secret for 16 months (the publishing industry is slow, slow, slow.) I’ve nearly exploded with the excitement of it several times, especially when I want to shout about my wonderful US editor, Emilia Rhodes, and I’ve not been able to!
However, the long wait does mean that we’re quite far along in the publication process. I’ve already seen the cover, and it is very different from the UK cover – in the best way. It’s minimalist and art deco and so beautiful I want it as a poster. I asked for a cover similar to the cover for We Are Okay, and they definitely came through. I can’t wait to share it with you all.
