Even before the Frankfurt Book Fair starts, we have had two pre-emptive offers!
First, French rights to THE BOOK SCAVENGER by Jennifer Chambliss-Bertman, coming from Holt Books for Young Readers in June 2015, were snapped up by Glenn Tavennec at éditions Robert Laffont in a three-book deal for his new middle-grade collection, launching in autumn 2015.
Then, the first translation sale of Alan Moore’s forthcoming novel, JERUSALEM, came in a pre-empt for Italian rights by Rizzoli for editors Simone Romani (Lizard) and Giovanna Canton (Rizzoli Fiction).
So the fair is starting off with a bang!
