I am incredibly pleased to announce that the story I co-wrote with Jo (whose full name is Jonathan) has been sold to the very anthology we originally wrote it for. Sea and Sky will be included in the Masked Mosaic anthology from Tyche Books, edited by Camille Alexa and Claude Lalumière.
If you follow this blog regularly, you may be scratching your head a little bit. Back when I first blogged about this story in an entry I called …and Then the Magic Happened I said the editors had passed on the piece and I was sending it elsewhere. They did, and I did. But then even more magic happened. They changed their mind.
Oh my God, right? That like, never happens. But it did!
Check out the table of contents here — Jo and I are on it. *Squee*
I am ridiculously excited about this sale, and this book 🙂 It’s scheduled for a February 2013 release, and I can’t wait 🙂
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS I MUST USE CAPSLOCK!!!
*squee*
RIGHT? I WAS TOTALLY TRYING TO PLAY IT COOL IN THE BLOG POST BUT I’M ALLOWED TO FREAK OUT IN THE COMMENTS! SO, SO HAPPY!!!!
I EVEN USED EXCLAMATION MARKS! I BARELY EVER USE ONE, LET ALONE 4 🙂
Congrats!
Fairly recently, I had an editor ask if a piece they had originally turned down was still available. They had turned down the piece because their next couple of issues were full, but then they switched from biannual to quarterly publication, so space opened up.
Sometimes editors do change their minds.
Thank you 🙂
Hooray! That’s awesome news! *dances*
Thank you, it made us pretty happy 🙂
Woo! Fantastic stuff.
*happy dance*
Congrats! How awesome that the editors changed their minds, wish that would happen more often, haha.
I don’t know about other editor’s processes, but the one time I had my editor hat on and changed my mind about a story it caused a lot of paperwork LoL I won’t do that again often 😉
Also, thank you 🙂
Congrats on the “resurrected” sale and meeting your W1S1 goals. Pretty awesome chain of events.
