Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!
Publishers Marketplace Deal Report for THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter. Imprint: Page Street. Marley Rose-Teter's THE BONE BRIDES, pitched as Howl's Moving Castle by way of Guillermo del Toro, in which a girl must save her changeling girlfriend from a terrifying faerie realm before they both end up trapped in skins not their own, to Lauren Knowles at Page Street, for publication in fall 2026, by Hannah Andrade at Bradford Literary Agency (world English). The PM announcement is decorated with a border image showing a moody autumnal forest and some cute skeleton bunnies.

Book announcement over an orange megaphone. Two female headshots accompany the text. BOOK NEWS Michael Green at Marble Press has acquired world rights to Pirate Baby by Monica Acker (I.), illustrated by Susana Soto. In this picture book, Captain Cally takes whatever she fancies and never gives a single thing in return-until she fishes a houseplant from the sea and reluctantly tends to it, allowing them both to grow. Publication is slated for fall 2026; Kaitlyn Sanchez at Bradford Literary represented the author, and Kate Webber at Good Illustration represented the artist.
