Second graphic novel sold From Publishers Weekly 3/8/07... "Mark Siegel of First Second, the graphic novel imprint of Roaring Brook Press, has acquired a second book from duo Laurence Klavan and Susan Kim (German Town). The Fielding Course, about two friends who go to summer camp and discover a laboratory in the woods, is expected to be published in fall 2009. The deal was made with Bernadette Baker of Baker's Mark and Victoria Sanders of Victoria Sanders & Associates." Producer Dies Curt Dempster, who ran the Ensemble Studio Theater in New York, has died. Curt produced three of my plays--the full-length, "The Magic Act," and two one-acts, "Freud's House" and "The Summer Sublet" and he workshopped and had read several others, and I'll always be grateful to him for that. I knew him for many years, and I'm sorry he's gone. Musical Published "Embarrassments," the musical I wrote with composer Polly Pen and which premiered at the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia, has been published by the Dramatists Play Service. Roy Milano Gets a Byline Roy Milano, the movie geek detective of my novels, "The Cutting Room" and "The Shooting Script" has "written" the text of "Monsters: A Celebration of the Classics from Universal Studios," available from Del Rey Books. But since neither Roy nor his creator gets residuals from its sale, the book may be best enjoyed by being read in its entirety in the store. Graphic Novel Sold From Publishers Weekly 5/29/06... "Comics Preempt": Mark Siegel of Holtzbrinck's First Second Books, has preempted a graphic novel titled "Germantown" by Edgar winner Laurence Klavan and television writer Susan Kim; the world rights deal was handled by Victoria Sanders of Victoria Sanders & Associates and Bernadette Baker of Baker's Mark. Set in a WWII-era immigrant neighborhood in New York, the book tells the story of a comics-obsessed girl who decodes a secret spy message in the pages of a romance novel. Klavan is also the author of "The Shooting Script" and "The Cutting Room" (Ballantine). Paperback published The paperback of "The Shooting Script" is out now from Ballantine Books. It's available wherever fine books are sold and, of course, brutally discounted online. Editor Leaves Joe Blades, the editor of my novels, "The Cutting Room" and "The Shooting Script" at Ballantine Books, has announced his resignation. Joe is a good guy and a good editor, and I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does next. One-Act Play Published "The New Rules" is included in the book "The Director as Collaborator," by Robert Knopf, published by Allyn & Bacon. The play was produced in "Brave New World: American Theater Responds to 9/11" at Town Hall in 2002, where it was called "among the evening's most effective" by The New York Times. |
