Shouting from the Rooftops: MARLEY GIBSON!!!!

Everyone give a big big BIG round of applause — heck, stand up and shout, stomp your feet, scream, yell, set off firecrackers and pop the champagne.

The incredibly talented writer, my friend and critique partner

Marley Gibson has sold a four book deal to Puffin Books!

But that’s not all. It’s a series! She sold on a partial! They are launching her first two books simultaneously as part of a series promo push!

No lack of exclamation points on Diana’s Diversions today, folks.

I’m one of the few people who has read the partial for her new series, and let me tell you, you all are in for a treat!

Here’s how the deal appeared in Publisher’s Marketplace:

17 March, 2006
Children’s:
Young Adult

Debut author Marley Gibson’s four untitled books in a series about a group of collegiate sorority sisters, to Angelle Pilkington and Karen Chaplin at Puffin, in a nice deal, by Deidre Knight at The Knight Agency (world.)

Congratulations, Marley!!!!! No one deserves this more!
