The book is now six month old! (I hope you'll grab a
copy from your favorite book seller or library). And FYI, it's going to
be part of the Scholastic Book Club! (It's in the September TAB flyer) -
so you can check it out there as well!
And here it is in Target! (photo courtesy of my mom 😊 )

I have some exciting book news!!
I have a great new agent, and I sold two new books to Macmillan!!!
Here's the announcement that was in Publishers Marketplace:
The amazing people at Swoon Reads / Macmillan put together four possible cover directions for my new book Romeo and What's Her Name -- and you can help decide which one should get selected!
Can't wait for you all to read this book!! I'm doing revisions now, and I'm almost done!
Here's what the publisher said about the book:
Romeo & What's Her Name by Shani Petroff
An unprepared understudy is forced to take the stage with her secret crush in this YA romantic comedy of errors. Why we love it:
– We couldn't stop laughing at the Bridget Jones style humor of failing spectacularly and making grand gestures!
– The theatre elements in this story were so fun! We love-eth the drama!
My new teen rom-com (romantic comedy), Romeo and What's Her Name, is
going to be published by Macmillan!! (due in stores Feb. 7th, 2017!!)
I'm very excited!!! The book is a comedy of errors where an unprepared
understudy is forced to take the stage with her secret crush.
Here's the longer description: Emily only volunteered to be an
understudy for Romeo and Juliet to get closer to Wes, aka Romeo, and to
get some extra credit. She meant to learn her lines but a) it was really
hard b) she was too busy doing her other schoolwork, her part-time job,
and all of the “real” Juliet’s chores and c) what was the point?
UNDERSTUDIES NEVER GET TO PERFORM. Or at least, that’s what she thought.
Now she has to star opposite the guy of her dreams. But how hard can
faking Shakespeare really be?...
The official announcement is on Swoon Reads (an imprint of Macmillan).
Putting the finishing touches on Finding Mr. Better-Than-You! It's set to come out next winter! Can't wait for you all to read it!
