Matt Myklusch sold his debut Jack Blank trilogy to Liesa Abrams at Simon & Schuster’s Aladdin Books via agent Chris Richman of the Firebrand Literary Agency. The middle-grade books begin “when a boy survives an attack by a robot-zombie and is smuggled away to a secret island full of aliens, super heroes, and the answers to his mysterious past.” When Myklusch isn’t writing, he’s the Director of Ancillary Business at MTV Networks.
