Happy Birthday, Labyrinth Road!

It’s easy to get caught up in building your own little world, especially when you’re world building. (See what I did there!) But as I wile away the hours working on the Spellbinders series, oodles of other gears continue to turn…

Labyrinth Road

“Labyrinth Road is a home for books about epic journeys—both fantastical and emotional—that allow readers to explore our world and imagined worlds.”

-Liesa Abrams, VP & Editor in Chief

After two years of hard work, and the time and energy of numerous talented people, Labyrinth Road is preparing to launch! For those who don’t know, LR is the new imprint of Random House Children’s Books led by Vice President and Editor in Chief Liesa Abrams. It’s a delight and an honor to be part of Labyrinth Road’s growing list! (The other authors - debut and established - are a parade of literary luminaries and soon-to-be literary luminaries, and I still can’t believe I share a slot on the team.)

The imprint launches on September 13 with Deb Caletti’s The Epic Story of Every Little Thing, which has garnered six starred reviews (something I can’t wrap my small mind around). It will be followed by Sir Callie and the Champions of Helston by Esme Symes-Smith, and many others, including Spellbinders: The Not-So-Chosen One (release date forthcoming). Congratulations to Liesa, Deb, Esme, and all my friends and fellow authors at Labyrinth Road!
