The post I’ve been wanting to write since I started the blog in 2003

Hey, so…guys?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am proud/thrilled/honored/excited/overwhelmed-and-wanting-to-cry to announce that my debut novel, The Revolution of Every Day, will be published by Tin House Books.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tin House! I mean, seriously… TIN HOUSE. I can’t imagine a better home for this book. There is a very large part of my brain that doesn’t believe I got such a tremendously happy ending to this post.

All of you who’ve stuck around this blog, who’ve been so supportive for so long… THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how much it’s helped to have you here reading and cheering me on. I’m excited to get to share this book with you! They’re talking about a pub date in September 2013 or early 2014. I’ll keep you posted.
