Paper Fury

announcing my first adult horror two-book deal (!!) with St Martin’s Press

by 18 Comments

I finally get to spill my EXCITING NEWS!

I have more books coming out!! Introducing my first Adult Horror: YOU DID NOTHING WRONG, coming summer 2025 from St Martins Press, with another book coming in 2026.


I’m still losing my mind tbh. Being an autistic author in publishing has never been easy, but I’ve been working relentlessly hard—and I’m sitting here with a two-book, six-figure, preempt deal and pinching myself that this is real.

The genre is: Unhinged Women. And oh, oh you are not ready. I ADORE this book and I’m also so so keen to be sharing more autistic characters!!

All the thanks to my agent, Claire Friedman, and I’m so excited to be working with Alexandra Sehulster and the team at St Martins!!

It truly feels so surreal that I have multiple books coming out when I’ve dreamed of this for over a decade. 😭😭 If you’ve followed me for a bit, you’ll know i’ve had a frustrating lot of setbacks in my author life for years. So I am, indeed, lowkey freaking out. I fought so hard to be here, to keep writing books, to dream of selling them…and now to actually see it start to happen is everything to me.

I wrote YOU DID NOTHING WRONG around April to August 2023 and sold it in December. Like WHO ME with a deal for the most unhinged horror I’ve written yet. Am going to scare you all a bit with this one but it’s worth it, you’ll be fine. (Probably.)

FROM PUBLISHERS MARKETPLACE:
Author of the upcoming YA horror DON’T LET THE FOREST IN CG Drews’s
YOU DID NOTHING WRONG, pitched as THE PUSH meets The Haunting of Hill House, about a young single mother and her autistic son who are whisked away by her new husband to a crumbling family manor they are intent on repairing—but when her son starts hearing things in the walls, poisonous dark secrets surface that threaten to ruin everything, to Alexandra Sehulster at St. Martin’s, in a pre-empt, in a two-book deal, by Claire Friedman at Inkwell Management (world).
