Deal of the Week

Katy Hays Heads to Pamela Dorman for Third Novel
Pamela Dorman, who has an eponymous imprint at Viking, won North American rights, at auction, to Home Economics by Katy Hays from Elisabeth Weed at the Book Group. The novel centers on a disgraced “homemaking icon” who starts squatting in “her former Hudson Valley farmhouse in hopes of winning it back and finds an unlikely ally in a college-age filmmaker who broadcasts her crusade to a national audience,” per the publisher. Foreign rights have also sold in 12 countries and counting. A pub date has not yet been announced.

More New Book Deals of Note
Among this week’s offerings are Liselle Sambury’s adult debut, about a young woman who trades her memories for the promise of true love; Katy Sewall’s imaginative prequel to The Secret Garden; and a memoiristic cookbook from the founders of Philadelphia’s beloved Cambodian noodle shop, Mawn.

The Latest in Children’s and YA Deals
New projects this week include Katharsis by Jordan Rivet, a post-apocalyptic YA romance in the vein of The Gorge about a teen girl who must survive her community’s deadly coming-of-age ritual; Borderline by Lilia Vargas Costello (Tumblr writing prompt creator @deepwaterfiction), a debut YA novel that follows a checkout clerk from Florida’s weirdest convenience store, the twin brother of a missing girl, and a traveling paranormal vlogger, in an examination of bifurcated identity and alternate dimensions; and The Gods We Buried, a YA adventure-fantasy by Elle Tesch, in which a girl must team up with the boy who broke her heart to find a legendary tomb and rescue her missing archaeologist mother, pitched as What the River Knows meets Tomb Raider.
