And one thing that stuck out is like, from the very jump, you mentioned how like it- your family thought of you writing a book as winning the lottery. So I was like, I had to have a hard copy. I pre-ordered it immediately, but I swung by like my local Indigo on release day, and I got it before it could sell out. Oh, yeah, you can see Iron Widow’s right there. It is like Iron Widow got reprinted eight times in six months just because of the limit on print orders. Clients & friends who are authors keep mentioning how they hope that publishing houses don’t have to push back their books because of all the shortages happening with like paper and printing it’s ridiculous. Oh, it is, but yeah, I’m so sorry you haven’t been able to get your hands on it! Outside of running OffCo, I consult in publishing.
And I already pre-ordered my copy, and it’ll get to me eventually, but I want that one right now. It’s beautiful! Our New York team kept sending me pictures while they were reading it. So every time like, I’m like, do you have the hardcover? I want to gaze at it. Okay, because look at that hardcover is so beautiful, but I have yet to get my hands on it. The hardcover got sent to our PR team in America.
Yeah! But do you have any questions for me or anything you want to talk about before we jump in?Ĭover of Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor by Xiran Jay Zhao So I’m excited for us to be chatting about it now. I appreciate it! I got a copy of Zachary Ying from Simon Schuster Canada a little while because they saw me talking about it on TikTok way before we confirmed this interview was happening. The book is out May 10th, and you can preorder it here! He spends most of his life cut off from his heritage and culture but all of that changes when he’s attacked by evil spirits and he hears the voice of China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huang beckoning him to release control of his body.
For the release of their first middle-grade Sci-Fi fantasy book, we got to sit down and speak with Zachary Ying and The Dragon Emperor author Xiran Jay Zhao! Zachary Ying and The Dragon Emperor follows the journey of a young Chinese Muslim boy living in a mostly white town in Maine.
