Congratulations to Sarah Burgess on the sale of their debut MG graphic novel to Andrews McMeel!
From Publishers Weekly:
Erinn Pascal at Andrews McMeel has bought Skip!, a middle grade graphic novel by U.K. debut author-illustrator Sarah Burgess, pitched as Raina Telgemeier meets slice-of-life manga. Anxious poet Jay joins a Double Dutch team and uses their rhymes to navigate complicated feelings surrounding their first best friendship. Publication is planned for fall 2023; Jas Perry at KT Literary did the deal for world rights.
