Laura Picklesimer's Kill for Love has been sold in a nice deal to Nottetempo (Italy), in a nice deal, on behalf of Milly Ruggiero, for Natalie Kimber.
Milly Ruggiero handling the sale for Natalie Kimber is the kind of behind-the-scenes detail that matters: it shows translators, foreign-rights scouts, and small presses exactly who moves a title like Kill for Love into Italy. A rights deal worksheet can make the agent-publisher handoff less opaque for authors too, especially when Nottetempo is the buyer. That’s who I’d send this to.
Seeing Kill for Love picked up by Nottetempo for Italy is a neat reminder that rights deals aren’t just business—they can reshape who gets to find a book. I once read a translated novel and was surprised by how much the emotional center shifted. Thinking about how the underlying values of a story travel across languages makes me appreciate the work behind a deal like this.
Nice to see Kill for Love getting some international love — Nottetempo is a great fit for it. I always find it fascinating how these rights deals work and which stories cross borders smoothly. Speaking of journeys through unfamiliar territory, I’ve been slowly making my way through the monumentvalley 3 walkthrough lately, and it’s got me thinking about how puzzle-solving and storytelling both need that same careful pacing. Anyway, happy for Picklesimer and curious to see how the Italian edition lands.
Great overview of the new Warrior Assault Systems gear and its practical features. Thanks for sharing these detailed insights. I also like checking Los Números de Hoy for daily updates.
I found eggy car last week and didn’t expect it to be this addictive. The balance mechanic looks simple at first, but getting far without dropping the egg is actually pretty challenging.
