I walked into the Tin House office today to pick up Nanci McCloskey, the Director of Publicity, for a coffee meeting and this was waiting for me. My editor, Meg, had it all set up on the edge of the front desk to ambush me.
My book has a cover, and it’s fucking perfect.
Yes, I cried a little bit.
Thanks to the designer, Jakob Vala, who jumped through all kinds of photo-hunting hoops to get this cover done. I couldn’t imagine anything better than this. It’s exactly right.
It’s truly a great cover, Cari, and I have no doubt that what’s between the covers will more than live up to it. Can’t wait to read it and then have it on the section of my bookcase devoted to writers I know.
Thanks, Donigan! I’m honored to have earned a place on that bookshelf.
Cannot wait to see it and read it! Some much happiness….!!
congratulations! how stinkin’ exciting!!
Woot! Thanks!
I love it! Congrats!!
Thank you!
Yay!!! So excited for you!
Thanks, Melanie!
Wonderful, very proud of you, excited to read it.
Hey, thanks PK!
I’ve been reading (mostly quietly, lurker-ly) since before you left Brooklyn, and I gotta say – I teared up a bit too. And I may have done a fist-pump and said, “YEAH.”
Maybe.
Congratulations.
*high five*
I am excited for you and looking forward to reading your book
Your blog makes me think in different ways and explore new musicians, ideas and authors
Thank you
Thank YOU, Diane.
If I saw this on a shelf at the bookstore, I’d have to pick it right up and read it. Job well done on the design.
(Can you hear me jumping up and down and clapping right now?)
Thanks so much, everybody! I’m madly in love with this cover.
