I have some big news that I’ve been holding on to for a week or so. Deep breath…I have a new book deal!!
The book will be published with Roost Books, the publisher of my first book, TinkerLab: A Hands-on Guide for Little Inventors. I’m thrilled to work again with my very favorite editor, Jenn Urban-Brown and of course my amazing agent, Erica Silverman. These two women have been the most patient of friends and the best hand-holders as I built up enough energy to write another book.
Writing that first book was a huge learning experience, and one of the things I came to understand is that it’s no small undertaking. I drafted a proposal for book #2 almost as soon as the last one was released, and then I held off for fear that I’d actually have to write the book! Ha.
In any case, I’m now ready for it. My younger daughter will be in a few more hours of school this fall, which should give me more time to flesh it all out.
I can’t say too much about the book just yet, but I’ll share a few photos from my proposal to give you a sense of where it’s heading.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
That is super exciting news Rachelle! And I know it is going to be incredible. Can’t wait to hear more about it.
Hi Kate! Thanks so much for the sweet note. Fingers are crossed for a good outcome. I’m lucky to have a great editor and I think the topic will be useful to a lot of families and educators.
YAY! I gave and, luckily, received the first book for Christmas. I’ll look forward to doing the same with the second. My 5 and 2 year olds are getting so much out of the first one.
Hi Larissa, Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment. I’m delighted to hear that my book has found a happy home with you. xo
Hooray! This is exciting news, Rachelle. It is bound to be wonderful. I completely understand the apprehension re: squeezing in time to work on a book. 🙂
Thank you so much, Emily! I’m really looking forward to this one and I’m happy to be in your good company!
Congrats, Rachelle!
Thank you so much, Megan!! 🙂
