Another Lighthouse Workshopper Hits it Big!

It's very unlike us to brag about the success of our members (har), but we couldn't be happier for longtime member Sarah Ockler, who just had the following writeup in Publisher's Marketplace.  She worked on this novel with Jenny Itell (nee Vacchiano), came to several retreats, the last two Lit Fests, and might be joining us in Fairplay to work on book 2.  She's fabulous.  Here's the writeup:

Sarah Ockler's debut TWENTY BOY SUMMER, pitched as in the tradition of Ann Brashares and Sarah Dessen, following a sixteen-year-old girl with a life-shattering secret as she navigates the unfamiliar landscape of changing friendships, burgeoning sexuality, loss, and the meaning of true love, to Jennifer Hunt at Little, Brown, for six figures, in a pre-empt, for two books, by Ted Malawer at Firebrand Literary.
