Exciting news everyone! My debut graphic novel "Roofhoppers" was acquired by S&S for publication in 2024. Here is the announcement from Publisher’s Weekly to prove it. I’m so thrilled to get to share this story with you all.
“Roofhoppers is a new graphic novel by Andi Porretta that has been bought by Alex Borbolla at book publisher Atheneum.

Roofhoppers is to be published in the summer or 2024.”
