It's a #Book Deal!

I'm thrilled to announce that my second book, UNLOCKED, will be published by Merit Press (the YA imprint for F+W Media)!

Here's the official announcement from Publisher's Marketplace:

Text from the image above:

"Margo Kelly's UNLOCKED, pitched in the vein of Lois Duncan, in which straight-laced Hannah chooses to participate in a hypnotism show at the local fair, but when the hypnotist leaves her mind open to suggestion, Hannah must learn to block out the demons that toy with her sense of right and wrong before she ends up killing her boyfriend to appease the demons, to Jacquelyn Mitchard at Merit Press, by Brianne Johnson at Writers House (World English)"

The idea of having a second book out in the world is beyond wonderful, and I'm so excited for you to read it!

Brianne Johnson is a Rock Star ... Just Sayin'

What's better than getting an envelope in the mail from your agent?

Well ... getting an envelope with a mustache sticker and smiley face ... of course!

 

 

I'm telling you ... Brianne Johnson is a rock star.

 

................

 

 

And today is:

 

 

My advice for today? Hang in there. Keep writing. Keep editing. Keep plugging along toward your goals. Because the mustachioed envelope makes it all worthwhile. ;)

 

That is all.

 

Go write something good today (or write something bad and then edit it tomorrow).

 

My Manuscript SOLD!

"Margo Kelly’s debut, SAFE, pitched as a modern take on “the call is coming from inside the house” old urban legend, in which a young girl falls in love with a man online who comes for her, to Jacqueline Mitchard at Merit Press, by Brianne Johnson of Writers House, to pub in Spring 2014."
