HP was first published by Bloomsbury in London. They did buy the American rights and publish it under their Arthur A. Levine Books imprint. HG was first published by Scholastic, though. <br /><br />It is said that an author for the childrens/YA market hasn't really made it big until Scholastic picks up one of their books for the school book fairs. Though I've talked with an author whose books was picked up by Scholastic and she started making a lot more money, she says she still hasn't made it big since her book was a specialty holiday book for kids.Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-53685588959521281782013-10-31T09:27:44.537-05:002013-10-31T09:27:44.537-05:00Broken Wings by Shannon Dittemore.Broken Wings by Shannon Dittemore.Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-14439529665095721852013-10-31T09:25:15.710-05:002013-10-31T09:25:15.710-05:00Thanks, Emma. :-) We missed you guys too.

They're cover designs are astounding, they're well known amongst Christian publishers, their book trailers give a professional feel... If I wasn't doing a Christian publisher, I'd probably go for Scholastic. Simple logo for the spine, known as publisher for Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and a bunch of other well known books. If not them, then Harper Collins. :)Jenneth Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806251588834115742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-89395163082392402842013-10-30T15:13:03.973-05:002013-10-30T15:13:03.973-05:00As usual this is another great post!
