Editor Jen

.

Hi everyone!

I come to you today with some big news.  As many of you know, for the last two years I’ve had the extreme pleasure of working with one of the premiere editors in publishing, Jennifer Besser.

Jen is the powerhouse editor behind such series as Percy Jackson and Blue Bloods.  So…yeah…she’s awesome.  So awesome, in fact, that Putnum has snapped her up and made her their leader. (Or…well…vice president and publisher, but you get the drift.)

So congratulations, Jen!  And congratulations, Penguin Putnam–you’re getting one of the good ones.

ps: I know many of you are probably wondering what this means for me and the Gallagher Girls.  It will be a change, for sure.  But I’ve had two editors in my time with Disney-Hyperion, and both have been the best in the business.  I have every confidence that they will go to the ends of the earth to find yet another wonderful editor.  Because that’s what they do.

    Hey Ally just putting it out their that I just got done reading Heist Society and it was a great book to read can’t wait for book 2. I was also wondering are we going to see a lot of Zack in GG4 as we saw Hale in Heist Society though I bet just saying if you putted just once both GG and Heist Society together in one book you get really great reviews. An just also maybe know as one I the best books you have ever wrote.
