She is very happy to announce the sale of her picture book, The Dinosaur Tooth Fairy, to Arthur A. Levine Books. Michael Stearns of Upstart Crow Literary is her agent.
Martha feels sort of silly talking about herself in the third person, but she makes everyone else do it so it seems only fair. She's also grateful beyond words to everyone at the SCBWI, because this never would have happened without the support and serendipitous opportunities the organization provides.
Congratulations! I love the title. :)
ReplyDeleteCheering for you, Martha!!!! Can't wait to hear the news tonight!

You guys, thank you for all your good wishes. I've wanted to write for children my whole life. Starting almost 9 years ago to the day (when my first child was born), I began noodling around with picture books.
ReplyDeleteIt's taken me a while to learn what I need to learn, but it has been so much fun. I really feel like I've found the people I belong with, and I feel like I'm doing what I'm meant to do. It's such a pleasure to know you all and to do this work together.
Here's to continuing to enjoy each other and the creative process.
Liz Mills wishes Martha heaps of congratulations, kudos, and banzai, and can't wait to see the book when it comes out!
