We’re kicking off this week’s snack with some fun personal news: POME is going to San Diego Comic Con!
Our debut anthology, Group Chat, was nominated for a Prism award, and we’re sending Pome’s resident West Coaster to attend the ceremony! Ashley is doing a signing at the Prism booth (#2144) Saturday, July 20 from 1 – 2 PM. Check out some of the other fun events at the Prism booth here, and if you’re coming to San Diego, please come say hi!
In some very exciting industry news, HarperCollins has just announced they’re launching an all-ages graphic novel imprint, HarperAlley. Get your pitches ready, folks!
Following up with some horrible publishing news, buckle up for this unbelievable experience that a food writer had with getting asked to write a book for basically a negative amount of dollars.
As suspected, I have been given an offer to write a book highlighting the 100 best restaurants in Washington DC FOR ZERO DOLLARS. And but of course I will be tweeting out all the details, because I am sick & tired of being asked to work for free. A THREAD: https://t.co/GgGXTMeUhb
