Book Deal!
Blog Post by June Casagrande - Nov.26.2008 - 2:19 pm
I'm excited to announce that this week my agent and I struck a deal with Ten Speed Press for a new book, tentatively titled "The One-Sentence Solution" (though I now think I have some better ideas for the title) and coming out spring 2010.
Ten Speed is best known for "What Color Is Your Parachute?" "Why Cats Paint" and "Write Right." I'm very excited about working with them.
The new book is a bit of a departure from "Grammar Snobs" and "Mortal Syntax" in that it's more about the craft of writing than about grammar, and it doesn't rely on humor essays and anecdotes to get its point across (though, for sure, my let's-talk-about-me impulse can't be squelched completely). I'm really excited about it because I think it contains great information that a lot of people will find really helpful and accessible.
I'm not sure how appropriate it is to go into much more detail right now. But just wanted to let you all know.
Hurray and such!

Thanks so much!
There aren't many places where I'm comfortable sharing such self-oriented stuff. So thanks for helping to make Red Room a welcoming place to, once in a while, say "Hooray for me."

Congratulations! I love words and word books and writing and writing books, and look forward to the day I am solvent enough to go buy the two you already have out; I'll get the new one, too, as my KidTwo is an aspiring writer. How nice that you have such a happy start to your holiday mood! Susan
