I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Preliminary congratulations, Amy, more to come after you spill the details.

So can we assume that things are looking up in the publishing industry?

Barb, Amy, can I have new calves? Cause I really think I could get better bylines if I were buff. Did you eat today? Take your supplements? (/Drama)

Because books.
I think certain areas of publishing are still doing fine, and YA just happens to be one of them. And the areas of publishing that are suffering are the same ones that have been following that curve for a couple of years.
The economy does make a difference, of course, but publishing goes through this all the time. It's very cyclical.
