Sarah Mensinga Sells Kindred Serpents Graphic Novel For Over $100,000

That is one great title, and I bet other dragon writers are kicking themselves for not using it. Sarah Mensinga has sold her new graphic novel Kindred Serpents to Charlotte Greenbaum at Abrams for six figures. Pitched as Wings of Fire meets Nimona,  Kindred Serpents is a graphic novel about a girl who longs for a dragon of her own, but instead helps an elderly dragon reunite with his lost human and discovers her unique calling along the way.
