My novel is going to be published in Spanish!

As Ginger announced on Twitter this morning:

We sold Spanish rights to @stephbowe's debut novel last week to Random House Mondadori, in a pre-empt, via our awesome Spanish subagents, IEC.

I know, exciting! Big thanks are due to Ginger Clark, Dave Barbor (Curtis Brown's Director of Foreign Rights) and the amazing Spanish subagents!

Huge congrats, kiddo. Here's to many many more foreign sales - and hope the US editors wake up and snap this baby up soon. 'Cause it rocks.

That is amazing Steph!
Can't wait to read your book in both English and Spanish!
Having your book out in Spanish means I can recommend it to my friends and family. After I've read it of course :P
I'm from/in Argentina, and most of my friends don't speak Eng, and those that do are too lazy to read a whole book in that lang!
Congrats! I'm really excited!
