Writer Unboxed

I was bursting with pride when I read Publisher’s Marketplace this a.m. and found this!

FICTION: GENERAL/OTHER
NYT bestselling author of Time of My Life Allison Winn Scotch’s THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE, in which a perfectly content thirty-something woman is given the unwelcome ability to see into the future of everyone’s life but her own, and discovers that her marriage to her high school boyfriend might be rockier than she anticipated, that her dreams might be smaller than she realized, and that her happiness is in no way guaranteed unless she finds a way to steer fate back into her own hands, to Sarah Knight at Shaye Areheart Books, in a significant deal, by Elisabeth Weed at Weed Literary (world).

Congratulations, Allison, on a wonderful sale; and congrats, too, to my editor and agent! I think I hear champagne corks popping somewhere!

Barbara Samuel (AKA Barbara O’Neal) also had wonderful things to report on her blog:

FOREIGN RIGHTS: FICTION

AUDIO RIGHTS

So happy for you both!

Therese Walsh co-founded Writer Unboxed in 2006. Her debut novel, The Last Will of Moira Leahy, sold to Random House in a two-book deal in 2008, was named one of January Magazine’s Best Books of 2009, and was a Target Breakout Book in 2010. She's never been published with a lit magazine, but LOST's Carlton Cuse liked her haiku best on Twitter, and that made her pretty happy.
