Guess Which Aspiring Author I've Interviewed Now Has a Book Deal!

Lookie lookie at what was printed in the deals column over at Publishers Weekly!

Rights sold for debut author Demitria Lunetta's IN THE AFTER, the first in a post-apocalyptic YA trilogy set in a near future where Earth has been overrun by vicious, predatory creatures. Seventeen-year-old Amy thinks that she and the toddler she rescued from a desolate grocery store are the only humans left alive-until they find refuge in a survivors' colony called New Hope. But as Amy is drawn deeper into its secrets, she comes to realize that all is not what it seems. And the dark truth she uncovers about this brutal new world will change everything.

Maria Gomez of Harper Teen acquired World English, in a pre-empt, from Katherine Boyle at Veritas Agency. Author Demitria Lunetta has resigned from her job as a receptionist to write full-time.

In the After is scheduled for a summer 2012 release

Make sure to wish Demitria all the best over on her blog! I'll be sure to share my review when the time comes. And if you missed it the first time around, be sure to check her aspiring author interview.


Congrats again Demitria!
