We are delighted to announce that Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group has acquired World English rights to Matthew Laurence’s Freya YA series, produced in collaboration with Rovio Books. The series will be published among the first titles of Imprint, a part of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group.
One of the world’s best known children’s publishers, Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group is home to authors including Madeleine L’Engle, Roald Dahl and Eric Carle.
“Matthew Laurence has written a fantastic character, and working with Rovio Entertainment to launch Freya is an exciting opportunity. Freya’s story as a forgotten god in a modern world is fresh and compelling. I can’t wait for readers to meet her.”
– Erin Stein, Imprint Publisher, Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group
Following an ancient god fighting for survival in a modern world, the series opens with Freya and the Myth Machine (Rovio Books 2015) and continues with Freya and the Idol Industry next year.
Contact the Agency for a full English manuscript of Freya and the Myth Machine.
In her prime, Freya was the Norse goddess of love, sexuality, magic, beauty, war, and death; and that’s just to start. She commanded armies, conquered kingdoms, and seared her name across the known world. But time is cruel. Seasons turned, and she was left behind. All that’s left of her legacy, empire, and faith… is Freya herself. And she is about to make one hell of a comeback.
See more information on the official Freya series site.
