Ted Fox's Blog: News From Ted - Posts Tagged "date-week"

Hey Friends--

If you're reading this, you presumably enjoyed my novel Schooled and/or are related to me. Either way, I have good news:

My next novel was officially announced today!

(I'm generally skeptical of exclamation points, but that one felt warranted.)

The book is called Date Week, and we described it to Publishers Marketplace as "a genre-bending rom-com about soon-to-be-dad Will who convinces four-months-pregnant wife Rachel to embark on a spontaneous road trip meant to lift her spirits about a missed job opportunity, resulting in humorous misadventures, honest conversations, and a mistake that threatens to upend their marriage."

Date Week is scheduled to come out from Lake Union (my publisher for Schooled) in summer 2024. I'm grateful to both my agent, Jessica Sinsheimer, and my editor, Erin Adair-Hodges, for giving me the chance to bring it to readers—and of course to all of you for being some of said readers.

So, thanks. :)

Hey Friends--

I hope that you're enjoying some great reading no matter where in the world this finds you.

It's a big month for me because, as you may know, my new novel, Date Week, comes out in just over a week on June 25. This one is a rom-com that, fittingly, takes place over the course of one week in late June, so hopefully you (and a whole bunch of other people) will find Will and Rachel's story to be the perfect summer read.

You can learn more about Date Week and enter the giveaway for a free Kindle edition right here on Goodreads. I also have a new episode of my Working Drafts podcast out today, on which I talk with my longtime literary agent, Jessica Sinsheimer, about how this book came to be and the collaboration between authors and agents more generally. That's available at the link to my website above as well as pretty much anywhere you get your podcasts.

Thanks for reading and for your support.
