HEY GUYS!

We’re not even going to try to be all calm and collected. We can’t pretend!!

BECAUSE WE HAVE NEWS! DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNNN….

After a seriously roller coaster couple of weeks (way way way more awesome than sad), we’ve signed with MAGIC AGENT Holly Root. I KNOW! OMG OMG OMG {breathes into paper bag}. We’ll spare you every minute detail but suffice to say we are thrilled and happy and basically all

We can't even pretend to be cool right now.

She’s fun and saavy and GETS IT. She’s a superstar advocate for her authors, great all over the web, and we are so honored to join her list! And also? She’s super pretty. (Not that that matters, but she totally is.) Anyway, so after all of this went down last week,ย  I celebrated by eating all of the donuts. I KNOW, I AM SO WILD YOU GUYS.

She’s really amazing, and KindOfOurDreamAgent. She represents Myra McEntire of HOURGLASS fame! And Rae Carson of GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS! And Rachel Hawkins of HEX HALL! And Victoria Schwab of THE NEAR WITCH (I can’t believe I didn’t have this in the first post!) And and and so many other wonderful authors, and NOW US!!

From here we revise and then Holly sends to publishing houses to see if they want to buy our book. And while it all happens, we keep reading and loving books and loving our swoon and LOVING YOU! *pets* *chases you for more pets* Thank you guys for coming with us on this journey. This community makes it fun, and Holly makes it happen. *fingers crossed*!

So, to those of you who come and celebrate the Awesome of Holly, we’re giving away a brand spanking new hardcover copy of HOURGLASS and GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS (one lucky winner for each)! Just comment in the post by Friday and you’re entered! Watch our Twitter because we’ll also have daily TeamRoot giveaways! WHOOHOO!

    I,m a newbie here – but love your blog and can only wish you many congratulations on the books! Just wondered if you have had a chance to read "A certain slant of light" by Laura Witcomb which is a brilliant Ghost story – and one (or two) for your Swoony boy alert: Etienne St Clair in Anna and the French Kiss and Alex in Lauren Olivers Delirium.

    Looking forward to reading your books!

    omg, we have been saving that gif forever. We kept it all safe and pretty on a satin pillow just waiting for THIS DAY!!! eeep, little excited here.

  96. Christina says

    Thank you so much!! We're still pinching ourselves so I know exactly what you mean. A year ago I went to the MATCHED release party. When we reached her table, one of my friends told her that I was writing a book. Of course I got all *nervous shuffle* but Ally was so amazing. She wrote:

    To Christina:

    Keep writing!! You can do it!!

    Ally Condie

    It was such a small thing but it meant so much to me. KEEP WRITING!

    Dude. Duuuuude. Adam equals ZOMGHOTTESTFICTIONALGUYEVER!!! *pictures tattoos and showers and walls and kisses* *passes out* Seriously, I think he may have bumped Four down a smidgen and I thought that was impossible. Thank again for the ARC, I never win anything!

  155. Janie says

    So. Proud. Of. You.

    Seriously, I know the blood sweat love and tears that have gone into your manuscript and I am amazed and completely blown away by the way you two have continually supported and encouraged each other and kept at it day after day. Your story is so full and gorgeous and the world needs to see it and taste it and love it just as much as I do. I am so happy for the world and for my two beautiful and incredible friends. I loves yous.:)))

  156. VitaminR70 says
