CHASING GUANO has come a long way over the years, but it is actually the first nonfiction manuscript I ever wrote. So it feels extra great to say that it's going to be a real live book soon! I am immensely grateful to the scientists whose work is highlighted for sharing their experience and expertise, and to my critique partners and all of the publishing peeps who have championed this story along the way. Can't wait to see the design take shape in the months to come and get it into readers' hands next year!  Jonathan Eaton while at Tilbury House aquired Chasing Guano: The Discovery of a Penguin Supercolony by Helen Taylor, a middle grade nonfiction book about how a group of scientists discovered a penguin colony in Antarctica. Publication is scheduled for 2024. It's official! My debut picture book, How to Eat in Space, was announced in Publishers Weekly a few days ago. I am so, so excited about how it's shaping up and can't wait to share it with the world next fall.  Samantha Gentry at Little, Brown has bought, at auction, world rights to How to Eat in Space by Helen Taylor, illustrated by Stevie Lewis. Publication planned for fall 2023. After many months in the query trenches, I am thrilled to have signed with Amy Tompkins at Transatlantic Agency! It feels like an incredibly bright spot in an otherwise challenging year and I'm super excited for this next chapter. Take that, 2020!
I'm honored that the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators selected my manuscript CHASING GUANO for their 2019 work-in-Progress Grant in the nonfiction category. Woohoo!
