Great Deals

I subscribe to Publisher's Lunch (the free version) and each week, I look forward to Wednesdays so I can read about the new deals in publishing. This week is no exception:

Brooke Parkhurst's BELLE OF NEW YORK, about a beautiful Southern debutante who comes to New York and lands a job in the mosh pit news room of a highly conservative cable network while reveling in the hedonisitic pleasures of the city, based on the blog Belle in the Big Apple, to Sarah McGrath at Scribner, by Bill Contardi at Brandt & Hochman (world).


Margaret Lazarus Dean's THE TIME IT TAKES TO FALL, about a young girl coming of age in the 1980s in Florida, where her father works for NASA on the space shuttle Challenger, to Marysue Rucci at Simon & Schuster, at auction, by Julie Barer at Barer Literary (NA).

Great -- two more authors to stalk!! {Kidding, natch.}
