It's been so fast! The MS was edited, my agent submitted it, and within two weeks, this happened!!!
From Publisher's Marketplace:
Lydia Kang's THE FOUNTAIN, about a 17-year-old, who must rescue her kidnapped sister with the help of a band of outcasts with mutated genes, set in 2150 when genetic manipulation has been outlawed, to Kathy Dawson at Dial Children's, in a good deal, in a pre-empt, for publication in 2013, by Eric Myers at The Spieler Agency (World).
I am dizzy with disbelief and happiness. This is so far from normal or what I expected. I feel like I won the lottery twice. And to think, it all started here on QT less than three years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you QTers!!!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, Lydia. I cannot tell you how excited I am for you. I've loved getting to know you in our little RS group and had no doubt this day would happen. Kudos, girl for the well-deserved success. |

Congratulations, Lydia! I'm so happy for you. I did a little happy dance when I got my Publisher's Lunch. How cool is it to know someone featured there???

That's awesome! Nice pitch to it too - I can't imagine how much brainstorming and tears it took to reduce your whole book to that one perfect sentence on PM. So glad that all of your hard work paid off for you.  |
