You guys, great news: we’re repackaging Legend, and Penguin is letting ME redesign the cover. Check it out! I’m so excited! This is what I always envisioned for Legend’s covers—their soulful eyes are indicative to me of the hearts of Day and June. I hope this opens the gates for other YA books to also be designed by their authors!

I think you mean soulless eyes, Marie. You really crushed this redesign, though!

If only more repackages used Comic Sans in their design…

Me too! Being in author acknowledgements never fails to make me feel all warm and fuzzy about my job.

Awe! @Marie_Lu thanked me in the Acknowledgements of PRODIGY! I’m honored! (Taken with Instagram)


Oh my goodness! What a surprise and honor. I guess I can forgive Marie Lu for making me cry when I read Prodigy. It’s SO GOOD.
In other news: I have the best job in the world.

This is exactly what I needed today. Squishy, adorable Penguin cuteness.

In her email, Marie referred to this as a “doodle”. My doodles are indistinguishable from when I accidentally scratch a piece of paper with a pen, so you can imagine how jealous I am. Also, how freaking squishable is that penguin?

Ahem. I mean. Isn’t it adorable?
