I can finally share the great news!!!
"Mekisha Telfer at Roaring Brook has bought, at auction, Girls Give Me Butterflies by Dresden Douglas, a debut middle-grade graphic novel pitched as a sapphic Lizzie McGuire, about young Brooke who begins to feel flustered and tongue-tied around other girls while struggling to tune out the voice of Sprout, an excitable little figment who manifests all Brooke's innermost thoughts. Publication is scheduled for fall 2023; Claire Draper at the Bent Agency negotiated the deal for world rights." Via Publishers Weekly
To my agent Claire Draper: Thank you so much for your excellent work representing me. And to my editor Mekisha Telfer: a very special thank you for bringing my debut graphic novel to Roaring Book Press!
This book is happening because you two believed in my story-- I can't thank you both enough. 💗
Progress is well underway but there's still so much left to do... Stay tuned for more book news and updates!
