D+Q Formally Announces Miriam Katin’s Letting It Go



The publisher Drawn & Quarterly has announced the acquisition of rights to Letting It Go from Miriam Katin. This will be Katin's follow-up to her much-acclaimed debut We Are On Our Own.

The new work, scheduled for February 2013, digs into the lingering effects on the author of the World War II experiences described in Katin's first book as her son decides to live in Germany. It should be a nice match for her evocative cartooning and sympathetic character portrayals.

A short biography of Katin can be found here.

Nothing was mentioned about how long the work was or how it would be published. D+Q will work with traditional partners Farrar, Straus & Giroux (US distribution), Raincoast Books (Canadian distribution) and Transatlantic Literary Agency (worldwide rights representation). Released in February, Letting It Go should be well-positioned for press and direct sales opportunities at that spring's comics shows with an alternative focus, up through that year's TCAF.
