My Graphic Novel!
Having spent another morning writing and thumbnailing, I figure it’s time to announce: I sold my book to Gotham/Penguin. Hooray! The storyline combines autobiography and studies about artistic creativity, and brilliant cartoonist Megan Kelso agreed to help comb over my roughs.
It’s been a long time in the works: two writing retreats, a reading at Richard Hugo House, lots of late nights at the tea house with my laptop. Now I have until August, 2011 to get it done. Sleeves rolled up, nose to the grindstone!
A deep curtsey to Lucia Watson, my editor at Gotham, and Holly Bemiss, my agent. Thank you!

Congratulations, Ellen! You deserve many great successes… Can’t wait to see the book.
Rock and roll, Ellen. Good luck!
Yay! I’ve never seen you at Remedy… but I guess it’s been almost a year since the last time I went there.
Awesome news! I’ll be sure to “accidentally” run into you at Remedy sometime.
yay ellen!!!!!!! (and i love megan too!)
You and Megan Kelso working on the same book? That is going to be one incredible book. Can’t wait.
Congrats, Ellen, I look forward to reading a book-length work from you.
Congrats!!
(btw, is your Holly Bemiss the same one who graduated from Penn State back in ‘94-ish?)
