Today, the Spring 2013 Abrams Kids' catalog went live.
Abrams is a publishing house known for its breathtaking artwork (their byline is "The Art of Books Since 1949"). Flip through the catalog and you'll see why.
When my agent Sara and I accepted the offer for BRUISED in 2011, my editor Maggie sent me a lovely welcome basket of books, as well as the latest Abrams Kids catalog. I immediately began dreaming of seeing my cover listed in those pages. I still have that first catalog, and a subsequent one I swiped while in New York two summers ago. They're on my bookshelf, and soon, they'll be joined by a third!
Thanks for letting me gush without irony today.
The cover alone tells a story and leaves you wondering what's inside. I know that's what covers are supposed to do, but they so often don't. Congratulations on seeing your cover in a catalog -- definitely one of the best firsts of many to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kimberly! I admire your writing so much and I'm glad to hear you like the cover. It's been a fun milestone seeing it in the catalog this week.
