Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions about whether or not there will be a Gallagher Girls 4? When it will be released? What it will be called? Will Zach be in it? Etc. Etc.
The short answers to those questions, by the way, are Yes!!! (yay!); I don’t know; I think I know but I’m not saying; And I’m totally not saying.
The long answers are…
WILL THERE BE A GALLAGHER GIRLS 4?
Yes, I’m absolutely thrilled that my wonderful publisher has offered me the chance to continue writing about the Gallagher Girls. I actually started the first draft of the fourth book when I was in Ireland last month and, so far, I’m about 100 pages into it. And it is bad. Terribly, painfully bad.
Because it’s a first draft and that’s the job of the first draft–to be bad.
In fact, I’ve started referring to what I’m writing now as the first first draft because this one is proving to be incredibly complicated, so I’m probably going to have to start from scratch a few times before the pieces all fall into place.
(After you guys read GG3 you’ll know that GG4 is going to be a lot more…stressful. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.)
WHEN WILL GG4 BE RELEASED?
Because we’re still so early in the writing process I’m afraid I don’t have a clue when it will be released. Because, after all, this is just the first first draft! After this there will be second and third and fifth and probably fifteenth drafts! And copyedits. And galley edits. And all the other things I talked about in this blog post a long time ago. So, in other words, GG4 won’t be out right after GG3, I’m afraid. These things just take a while.
WHAT IS THE TITLE OF GG4? / DO YOU KNOW THE TITLE YET?
I do have a title in mind for this book, but I like to keep my mind open to alternatives in case a better title occurs to me while I’m writing. I suspect that once I know for sure what the title will be I’ll do another contest of some kind where you guys get to figure it out.
WILL ZACH BE IN GG4?
Oh, Zach. Will we see him? Will we not? Will he and Cammie live happily ever after or will he elope with Madame Dabney and break Cammie’s heart? For the answer to that, my dears, I’m afraid you’ll just have to keep reading.
Gallagher Girls 4

January 25, 2015 at 3:42 pmDear ally,
I LOVED all of your books in the gallagher girl series. I heard you have just heard you published another book (gallagher wedding) and i am sooo exited to read it in the future! I know all books have to have an ending, but i feel almost as if cammie, zach, liz, macey, and bex’s storys still aren’t finished. I wish there was another short book explaining how eveyone is doing 10 or 15 years later.
