Deal of the Week

A Global Debut Acquisition at Summit Books
Judy Clain at Summit, with Nicole Winstanley at S&S Canada, Ravi Mirchandani at Summit UK, and Jane Palfreyman at Summit Australia, preempted world rights to Anne Meredith’s debut, Jaded, from Sarah Burnes at the Gernert Company. Billed as “Donna Tartt meets E.L. James on a 1980s college campus,” the book, the publisher said, follows two married professors who seduce a student together yearly—before a mysterious young woman, Jade, “explodes everything they have so carefully built.” Foreign-language rights have sold in French, to France’s Calmann-Lévy; German, to S. Fischer Verlag; Hungarian, to Libri; Portuguese, to Brazil’s Grupo; and Spanish, to Spain’s Ediciones Urano. Publication is set for early 2027.

New Adult Book Deals of Note
Forthcoming projects of interest include Harmonia Rosales’s debut Chronicles of Ori: An African Epic, which “pairs the author’s retelling of West African mythology from her Afro-Cuban heritage with her own Renaissance-inspired fine art paintings”; middle grade author Kelly Yang’s adult debut, The Take, about “two ambitious women—an Asian American writer in her 20s struggling to make it and a white movie producer in her 50s clinging to relevancy—and the secret age reversal treatment that upends their lives”; My Beloved, the 15th novel in Jan Karon’s Mitford series; and former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin’s memoir, Hope in Action.

The Latest in Children’s and YA Deals
New projects this week include An Auction of Souls by Amber Chen, a YA fantasy duology that follows a girl who runs a legendary magical auction house, whose life is upended after a stranger shows up wanting to sell a soul; Alyssa Sheinmel’s How the Goode Girls Died, a YA suspense novel about a girl who’s thrust into the mystery of her neighbors’ deaths and blackmailed by the forces behind her school's anonymous gossip app into investigating; and Divided by Newbery Honor winner Steve Sheinkin and Toby Cypress, a YA nonfiction graphic novel set in 1850s Washington, D.C., in a polarized nation on its way to the Civil War.
