<title>Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan &amp; Maureen Johnson Collaborate on Shadowhunters Spinoff</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="wp-image-62228 alignright" title="25416_351271079375_2568364_n" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/files/2012/12/25416_351271079375_2568364_n-256x300.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="180" /><em>Mortal Instruments</em> author <strong>Cassandra Clare</strong> will collaborate on a digital short story series called <em><a href="http://cassandraclare.tumblr.com/post/37649320918/the-news-at-last" target="_blank">The Bane Chronicles</a>, </em>working with <em>The Lynburn Legacy</em> author <strong>Sarah Rees Brennan</strong> and <em>The Name of the Star</em> author <strong>Maureen Johnson</strong>.</p>
<p>This spin-off series, set in Clare&#8217;s &#8220;Shadownhunters&#8221; universe, profiles the character <strong>Magnus Bane</strong>. Margaret K. McElderry Books, an imprint at Simon &amp; Schuster Children&#8217;s Publishing, will publish the first title in February 2013. Each of the ten <em>Bane </em>installments will come out on a monthly basis leading up to the release of <em><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/jamie-campbell-bower-lily-collins-cast-in-mortal-instruments_b31800" target="_blank">The Mortal Instruments </a></em><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/jamie-campbell-bower-lily-collins-cast-in-mortal-instruments_b31800" target="_blank">film adaptation</a>. In 2014, the publisher will release a single volume containing all ten stories.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s more from <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/article/55074-clare-s-s-team-up-for-shadowhunters-spinoff-in-p-and-e.html" target="_blank"><em>Publishers Weekly</em></a>: &#8220;The novelty of this approach is new enough, Galen said, that S&amp;S is having to do some things &#8216;on the fly.&#8217; Unfamiliar with this type of schedule, which invokes Aaron Sorkin more than Charles Dickens, S&amp;S is, Galen explained, still working out &#8216;the whole process of delivery, editing, and distribution.&#8217; Also being worked out, albeit in a different way, is how readers will take to this model. Given the growing number of options to deliver staggered content in a quick manner, projects like <em>The Bane Chronicles</em> are cropping up more frequently.&#8221;</p>

<title>Cassandra Clare &amp; Holly Black Ink Deal for 5-Book Series</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-50395 alignright" title="scholastic" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/files/2012/04/scholastic.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="150" /><em>Mortal Instruments</em> author <strong>Cassandra Clare</strong> and <em>The Spiderwick Chronicles</em> author <strong>Holly Black</strong> have landed a book deal for a five-book middle grade fantasy series.</p>
<p>Scholastic will publish the first book, <em>The Iron Trial</em>, in 2014. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/tag/david-levithan">Editorial director</a> <strong>David Levithan</strong> negotiated the deal with literary agents <strong>Russell Galen</strong> (for Clare) and <strong>Barry Goldblatt</strong> (for Black).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s more from the release: &#8220;In this exciting new series, twelve-year-old Callum Hunt has grown up knowing three rules by heart. Never trust a magician. Never pass a test a magician gives you. And never let a magician take you to the Magisterium. Callum is about to break all the rules. And when he does, his life will change in ways he can’t possibly imagine.&#8221;</p>

<title>Holly Black Inks Deal for Vampire Novel</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-39622 alignleft" title="pressphoto" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/files/2011/10/pressphoto-201x300.jpg" alt="" width="121" height="180" /><em>The Spiderwick Chronicles</em> author <strong>Holly Black</strong> has inked a deal for a YA vampire novel titled <em>The Coldest Girl in Coldtown</em> with Little Brown Books for Young Readers. Black (pictured, <a href="http://www.blackholly.com/biography.html">via</a>) wrote a short story by the same name for a vampire anthology, <em>The Eternal Kiss</em>.</p>
<p>In her <a href="http://hollyblack.tumblr.com/post/11105108550/my-secret-secret-secret-project">blog announcement</a>, Black emphasized that the vampire tale is &#8220;loosely based&#8221; on her original short story. She also revealed that this project will be &#8220;a single, fat stand-alone book&#8221; with a release set for fall 2013. Literary agent <strong>Barry Goldblatt</strong> negotiated the deal with editorial director <strong>Alvina Ling</strong>. Ling will edit the manuscript.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s more from <a href="http://myfavouritebooks.blogspot.com/2011/10/awesome-super-cool-excited-holly-black.html">the release</a>: &#8220;<em>The Coldest Girl in Coldtown</em> is set in the not-so-distant future, where the vampire population has surged, resulting in the establishment of Coldtowns, quarantined cities of vampires and humans where predator and prey coexist in a never-ending blood party of revelry. These isolated meccas of debauchery are the pillars of pop culture, with vlogs, live feeds, and YouTube videos constantly streaming from the endless parties at vampire mansions. Drawn into this bizarre and dangerous world is Tana, who willingly enters Coldtown with an infected ex-boyfriend on the brink of turning and a mysterious vampire with a tortured past intent on seeking revenge.&#8221;</p>
