I never got to mention the new imprint Little, Brown Ink because of the Holiday Book Extravaganza. Here is the announcement if your missed it.

Little, Brown Children’s is launching Little, Brown Ink, a graphic novel imprint for young readers focused on “authentic, visual stories that readers will relate to, learn from, and return to again and again.” Andrea Colvin, editorial director, graphic publishing, will lead the imprint, which will publish approximately 20 titles a year, both fiction and nonfiction, ranging from early readers to middle grade to young adult. Existing Little, Brown Children’s graphic novels will now fall under the imprint.

Happy New Year!

Talk tomorrow,

Kathy
