Congratulations to @willtaylorbooks.bsky.social on the sale of an untitled MG series! #TEamTriada #BookSky

A screenshot of a Publisher's Weekly deal which features a photograph of author Will Taylor and reads as follows: Elizabeth Lynch at Penguin Workshop has acquired an untitled middle grade adventure series set in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 by Will Taylor (The School for Wicked Witches). Life is already exciting for the lucky kids who travel the F1 circuit with their racing-affiliated families, but 12-year-old Mateo and his friends can't seem to stop uncovering secrets--secrets with the power to flip the sport they love entirely on its head. Book one is slated for spring 2027; Brent Taylor at Triada US did the four-book, six-figure deal for world rights.

I don’t understand why HarperCollins refused to join other major publishers and sign the letter to Congress in support of IMLS.

So, I wrote a letter to HarperCollins.

Libraries and librarians need our support. Authors and industry professionals, please sign this letter using this form. 👇 🙏 📚
