And by June 14th it had sold to Simon & Schuster. She’d already been talking to publishers about it, and it was out on submission by June 9th. I reworked the rest of the book according to her suggestions and sent it to her on June 8th 2011. I knew this didn’t guarantee me anything, but her revision suggestions were so good that by the time I’d started to work through them I knew I was going to keep this version of the book even if she didn’t like what I’d done!įortunately, she did like it, and offered representation.
In early 2011, one agent, Mandy Hubbard at the D4EO Agency, came back to me offering the chance to work with her exclusively on some pretty extensive revisions. As anyone who’s done NaNo can imagine, at the end of that month I had a great mad mess of a story! I finished writing it and edited it over the next year, then began querying agents. Now, Elissa and Lin are on the run from a government who will stop at nothing to reclaim Lin and protect the dangerous secrets she could expose-secrets that would shake the very foundation of their world.Ĭan you tell us a bit about how LINKED came to be published?

But for the last three years, she’s been struggling with terrifying visions, phantom pains, and mysterious bruises that appear out of nowhere.įinally, she’s promised a cure: minor surgery to burn out the overactive area of her brain. Today’s Lucky13 interview is with Imogen Howson, author of the YA space thriller LINKED, which releases tomorrow!
