She's arrived! THE INTERN is now available in Germany (with one helluva new name - "Mein teuflisch glamouröses Praktikum" - rolls right off the tongue, eh?!). If you're swinging through and happen to spot her on shelves, snap a pic because I'd love to see this beauty in her natural habitat ☆

I still can't believe I get the honour of typing this, but my first book, THE INTERN, has been shortlisted for the Inside A Dog Gold Inky Award, which celebrates high-quality young adult literature (still not sure how I wriggled my way in, but I’m taking it!).

Now, here’s where you come in: if you’re 12-20yrs old, you can vote for the winner! If you don’t quite fit the age criteria, pass on to anyone who does – the more the merrier.

Well done to all the amazing Gold and Silver Inky Award nominees, including Rachael Craw, Melissa Keil, Claire Zorn, Justine Larbalestier, Alice Pung… the list goes on.

Life as an author is filled with plenty of ups and downs, so I’m definitely celebrating this wonderful (and surprising) milestone!

The fringe and I have some exciting news to announce… my third novel will be released in early 2017!
Things I can tell you:
– I signed the contract this week, so it’s finally official. Meep!
– Yes, it’s YA contemporary #loveozya;
– My faves at HarperCollins Books Australia / Between the Covers / HarperCollins Children’s Books will be publishing it;
– No, it’s not another Josie Browning adventure (although, if you want more JB in your life, tell HarperCollins, go on!);
– Yep, this means new characters, new worlds, new everything;
– Stay tuned for more details (title, synopsis etc);
– I am going to need a lot of chocolate to hit this deadline;
– I couldn’t have done it without your support, so thank you – and bring on the next roller-coaster!
– I really, REALLY need a haircut.
– Did I mention you legends helped make this happen? YOU ROCK MY WORLD!
Much love, Gx

The Intern

Gabrielle Tozer

Move over, Willy Wonka and his golden tickets – The Red Intern is the hottest new treasure hunt in town!

Yep, there was a top-secret THIRD amazing cover all along, but the HarperCollins Australia gang and I had to keep our lips shut… until now! Here are all the details, so pay attention ‘cos this is one competition you’ll want to enter 1001 times.

PRIZE DETAILS

Fact: 20 limited edition red covers have been sprinkled through bookshops around Australia!
- 1 major prize winner will score amazing loot, including ELF cosmetics, Diva jewellery, an Apple iPod nano, a Kate Spade bag and a HarperCollins book pack.*
- 19 other lucky runners-up will nab ELF cosmetics, Diva jewellery and a HarperCollins book pack

HOW TO ENTER

1. From Jan 20, 2014 search every bookshop you can to track down one of these red-covered beauties. (Sheesh, they’re so pretty. I want one so bad.) Keep searching until you…
2. FIND ONE! When you do - because you’re that awesome – celebrate in the book shop’s aisles with an interpretive dance. (I kid, I kid.)
3. Okay, this bit’s important: purchase your Red Intern and retain proof of purchase/the receipt.

Jungs, ich habe aufregende Neuigkeiten!

Oh, wait… let me translate that into English: “You guys, I have exciting news!”

Hold onto your lederhosen and dirndl: I am beside myself/wetting my pants/thrilled to announce my wonderful HarperCollins team are selling the German world translation rights to THE INTERN!

Yes, THE INTERN is due to be translated into German and published throughout parts of Europe in 2015, thanks to Random House Germany. My debut 336-page tome and beautiful little monochrome cover-girl (protagonist Josie ‘Brown Pants’ Browning) is off on her first Eurotrip!
Mum’s already pushing for a European book tour so she can tag along as my plus-one. In the meantime, only two months to go until THE INTERN hits stores and Kindles in Australia – meep!

Dank für Ihre Unterstützung mal tausend! (That means “Thanks for your support x 1000′ in German. I’m totally fluent now.)

Come say hello at gabrielletozer.com, facebook.com/hellogabrielletozer and twitter.com/gabrielletozer – distractions welcome.
