Oh wow!!!!  I am utterly delighted to post the following . . .


PRESS RELEASE – GERMAN RIGHTS IN URBAN FANTASY DEBUT SOLD 

 

 

Krystyna Kujawinska,  Foreign Rights Director at Orion, has sold German rights in two urban fantasies  by debut novelist Suzanne McLeod to Nicole Geismann of Goldmann.

 

World rights in the series, which opens with THE SWEET SCENT OF BLOOD (to be published in the UK in September 2008), were acquired by Jo Fletcher at Gollancz from John Jarrold in 2007. 

 

‘I couldn’t be happier for Suzanne, or for Gollancz and Goldmann.' said John Jarrold. 'And many congratulations to Krystyna.’

. . . and my own thanks to John, Jo and Krystyna and to Nicole at Goldmann.  Yay! She loved my book!

Well done! I read an article somewhere recently which translated phrases from publishers' releases, such as A SIGNIFICANT ADVANCE into cash figures, but I don't remember what it said in the specific instance, and I can't remember where to find it! However, I'm sure it is very good indeed, and that this means that next time you're paying for eyeryone's sushi...

[suzannemcleod.livejournal.com]

Yes, wonderful, and thank you, Tom ;)

Re: Brilliant!

[tomlloyd.livejournal.com]

Well here's hoping others will step in and get interested now that the Germans have coughed up. I suspect the Goldmann name will mean lots of European publishers will start paying you much more attention!

[davidbarnett.livejournal.com]

Just to add to the congrats!

[suzannemcleod.livejournal.com]

Thank you, David ;)

Thank you Renee! And congrats and well done to you on reaching The End!!! Such a wonderful feeling ;) Sounds like your time away was great.

Thanks! :) Hey, I just saw your comments on Rachel Caine's post and I was cracking up. I went through a year of that before I realized she's just super human. There can be no other answer. Immediately release any feelings of inadequacy from your mind and keep on doing the magic that is Suzanne McLeod magic. ;) Therein lies the road to sanity.
