I’m busy working on my presentation for The State of the Market Report that I’m giving at the NJSCBWI conference to kick off Sunday morning. The report is chuck full of statistics, survey answers from editors and agents, and lots of analyst. Since all of my time has been going into that report and not on my blog, I thought I would give you a glimpse.
Young Adult ebooks are doing really well and I know many of you are considering going the digitally root hoping to ride that wave. I was surprised how many digital publishers are out there and since this research taught me things, I thought you might be interested in seeing the list and the number of deals each had during the last year. Please note some publishers were not in business for the full year.

I figured you were busy, busy, busy with prep for the conference which is why you haven’t been following up! At least I know you’re OK and just busy :) Been meaning to call to be sure, but now I know so won’t bother you! lol See you in a few days :D :D :D
Very useful information, Kathy. Thank you. I’ve been eyeing Swoon Reads for a while now.
Thanks! Your hard work is appreciated.

do you know if any of the deals involved payment of advances?
Just curious.
