Michael Stearns Leaving Harper to be an Agent...

I just heard that Editorial Director Michael Stearns will be leaving HarperCollins Children's Books to embark on a new career as an agent, partnering with Nadia Cornier. Brenda Bowen will be taking over Stearns' role as director of foreign acquisitions immediately following the Bologna Book Fair, and the company is looking for a replacement. His last day with Harper will be April 11.

When I get more news, I'll pass it on.

(I know, I'm supposed to be on vacation. But I can't help but read my email. Besides it poured down rain most of the day so I've been inside.)

Okay, Alice, I take back my comment about the nice weather. Sorry I jinxed you.

Hope you're still enjoying your vacation . . . indoors.

All best,
Donna

Hi Alice,
Um, there are rumblings about the Julie Andrews Collection looking for a new publishing home. Do you know anything about that?

I don't know anything about the Julie Andrews Collection, colorado writer. If I notice any news about it in my daily Internet travels, I'll post.
