SOURCEBOOKS ANNOUNCES NEW YOUNG ADULT IMPRINT TO LAUNCH SPRING 2010
September 29, 2009 (NAPERVILLE, IL)-Three years ago Sourcebooks announced the creation of a children's imprint, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky. The successful imprint has seen tremendous growth, including three New York Times Bestsellers and partnerships with celebrated authors such as Nikki Giovanni, Mary Ann Hoberman, and Francesca Simon.
The hiring of Dan Ehrenhaft, formerly of Alloy Entertainment, this past spring, solidified what would be the next step for Sourcebooks-a young adult imprint. SOURCEBOOKS FIRE will officially launch in spring 2010 with seven titles, including a bestselling paranormal romance series from the UK, a novel based on the true life story of teenage sisters who invented the séance in 1848, a romantic mystery set against the backdrop of the civil war, and a YA supernatural thriller set in New York City, among others.
"The things you discover as a teen-your favorite novels, your favorite poetry, your favorite bands-these stay with you for the rest of your life. They matter. They make a mark. They really do burn. That moment of discovery is what Sourcebooks Fire is all about," says Fire editor Ehrenhaft.
