Scholastic Acquires Two YA Novels from Donna Cooner

March 17, 2015 by Jen Halligan Leave a Comment

We’re thrilled to announce that 2 novels from YA author, Donna Cooner, were acquired by Scholastic last week!

Announcement from Publisher’s Weekly (3/10/2015):

Aimee Friedman at Scholastic has acquired two YA novels by Skinny author Donna Cooner. The first, Worthy, is about a girl and boy whose relationship is wrecked by a malicious dating app that makes them question friends, popularity, and self-image. Publication is set for 2016; Sarah Davies at the Greenhouse Literary Agency negotiated the two-book deal for North American rights.

Donna Cooner

Donna Cooner was born and raised in Texas. She is a three time graduate of Texas A&M University. A former teacher and school administrator, she now teaches teachers and principals at Colorado State University where she is the director of the School of Teacher Education and Principal Preparation. She lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, with her two labs and a cat named Stu. She’s a big fan of chocolate and laughing (not necessarily in that order).

Donna is the author of two novels for young adults, SKINNY and CAN’T LOOK AWAY. She’s also the author of over twenty picture books and was a founding member of the Brazos Valley Society of Children’s Bookwriters and Illustrators. She has also written children’s television shows for PBS and textbooks for future teachers.
