Coming soon: Young Wizards "New Millennium" Revised Editions

The first four Young Wizards novels have been in print for more than twenty years, and DD has wanted to do revisions of all of them for some time.

The present US publisher of the Young Wizards series, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, has expressed an interest in publishing revised versions of the novels at some time in the future. However, DD wants to make revised editions available to the readership in the short term, and ebooks are the best way to do this.

Starting in fall 2011, Errantry Press will begin releasing new revised ebook editions of So You Want to Be a Wizard, Deep Wizardry, High Wizardry and A Wizard Abroad. These books will be updated by DD to reflect technological and other changes that have become commonplace in the minds and lives of her younger readers over the last two to three decades. In some cases she will also be extending the books -- adding new material never published before. 

The first of the books to be released will be So You Want to Be a Wizard, with a new cover by noted German-based graphic artist Niko Geyer. The tentative release date for this version of the book is September 1, 2011.

Unlike the other edition of So You Want to Be a Wizard available in our shop, which can only be purchased by readers outside of North America, the revised edition of SYWTBAW will be an international edition available to all purchasers worldwide. The revised edition will also be available via Amazon.com in a Kindle edition and via the iBook Store in an ePub edition (courtesy of Kobo). Other formats will be rolled out over 2011. Print editions will also be available in late 2011.

The "classic" editions of all four books will remain available here and at Amazon and B&N for those readers who prefer to purchase them.
