by Teri TerryI’m very excited to announce that I’ve got a three book deal with Megan Larkin at Orchard Books for my futuristic thriller, SLATED! Book 1 will be out in May, 2012! And books 2 and 3 of the trilogy are planned for six month intervals thereafter.Somebody, pinch me...A year ago this seemed a dim possibility. All those long months spent freezing in the Writing Shack last winter:Writing

I'm at the Winchester Writers Conference for the weekend, but have managed to wrestle a computer away for a few minutes to say THANKS. <br />And especially big thanks to all my writing buddies & the SCBWI.<br />Wahoo!<br />Teri Terry
Love the photos - I can see the basis here for Teri's rules for successful writing.... Rule One - stop polishing the ducks!<br /><br />I'll think of you everytime the fridge beckons. Well done, good to know that hard work and talent still get the results they deserve.
Teri, that's fabulous news. Well done and huge congratulations. Love the photos - I need a fridge magnet like that!

Hooray for you, Teri! Enjoy Winchester.
Truly wonderful news - now, tell us more about 'Slated' - I'm dying to know what it's about!
Congrats Teri! I love hearing path to pub stories and the meetings with all the publishers sounds fun. What doesn't look fun is the winter writing even with the sleeping bag! Best of luck with the next stage of your journey.

It was great to see you at Winchester, Teri, and even better to hear about your success - you've paid your dues, girl, and you deserve it. I love the photos on the blogpost! I bought a book-bag at the literary gifts stand at Winchester, which says, in capital letters, 'GO AWAY, I'M WRITING!' - am going to hang it on the door handle of the study when I'm working. It'll be
Congratulations! Dont forget my signed first edition. Sandy
Congratulations!! :)
Brilliant post, love Caroline's wishlist - something for everyone, whole market covered!
Well worth following the link - the twelve pet hates are instructive & funny too.
I think I'll switch <br />To a poetic pitch<br />And sell my prose<br />To one who knows<br />About talent and effort and making stuff rhyme<br />And never give up<br />It may work this time
Brilliant!
Love the <a href="http://carolinesheldon.co.uk/pethates.php" rel="nofollow">'12 Pet Hates' page</a> - "Humorous submissions that aren’t funny."
not content with 1 picture book winner - I like it.<br />May your wishes come true!
Tee hee :o) And what an interesting favourite book list - not often you see a play in a list of favourite books.
Love this :)
Thanks to Caroline for taking so much time over her blog! <br /><br />So<br />Today I shall consult my muse,<br />Two heads bent down we shall peruse<br />this wishlist and we shall combine,<br />With crinolines from number nine,<br />An angsty teenage wimpy kid,<br />In creepy horror, 'Silly Sid'<br /><br />Merry Christmas<br /><br />Maureen
I very much like Caroline's eclectic list of eleven favourite books<br />I particularly like that it's a prime number - eleven not ten or twelve. So they really are favourite books, no slightly less than favourite to make it up to a boring old composite number.
