Awesome Things Ahead for Dallas Clayton
The Hollywood Reporter:
Harper Collins signed self-publishing sensation Dallas Clayton to a three-book deal.
The Los Angeles-based Clayton self-published the children’s picture book An Awesome World! in 2009 after writing it for his then six-year-old son (with actress Shannyn Sossamon) Audio Science. An Awesome Book!, which Clayton says is about “dreaming big and never giving up,” evokes a brighter and softer Maurice Sendak with a hint of Shel Silverstein. […]
Under the deal Harper Collins will publish its own edition of An Awesome Book! in spring 2012. Clayton will also develop children’s content across multiple platforms, including television.
I’m a huge fan of Dallas (if you don’t know his work yourself, you really should!), and I can’t begin to say how excited I am that he’s been given this very well-deserved opportunity.
I’m thinking about making up road signs to mark the occasion: “Unimaginably Brilliant and Uncontained Awesomeness Ahead!” (What do you think?)
