On June 26, 2019... I posted this note publicly af On June 26, 2019... I posted this note publicly after I’d finished the second draft of @ineverymirror. That feeling was heavy, scary, and above all, it just felt right. At that moment, I knew I’d written something very special...

That manuscript would go on to receive ~70 rejections because it couldn’t be put into a box, it crossed genres, and it didn’t want to pick a side (literary vs. commercial).

In essence, my book was a metaphor for the messiness and multi-dimensional complexity of simply existing as a human being outside of society’s predefined boxes.

Until @editorchrista and @emcclarymiller at @sourcebooks @bookmarked (US) and @clareesme at @headofzeus (UK) saw what I felt on that day.

@ineverymirror comes out on Sept 7 in the US/Canada through @bookmarked and Feb 3, 2022 in the UK/Commonwealth through @headofzeus. The last I heard from my amazing agent @craigliterary, foreign language scouts were getting excited about the news. 

It has already received amazing author quotes from @deeshaphilyaw, @tjenkinsreid, @ndennisbenn, #imbolombue to name a few.

Saying I am grateful and humbled doesn’t do what I’m currently feeling enough justice. Every vein is coursing with gratitude right now. I’m thankful for God’s steadfastness and blessings on my own unique journey.

On June 26, 2019, when I made that statement, I knew that @ineverymirror was the book I was meant to write at this stage of my life.

And that fearful feeling took my breath away.

You can already pre-order @ineverymirror through the link in my profile 🧡❤️🖤

Thank you to everyone who has supported and showered me with your love through this wild journey so far. It looks like it’s gearing up to be wilder over the next few months 🙏🏾

NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LỌLÁ ÁKÍNMÁDÉ ÅKERSTRÖM’S DEBUT NOVEL TO BE PUBLISHED BY HEAD OF ZEUS

@headofzeus is delighted to be publishing Lọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström’s first novel, In Every Mirror She’s Black.

Editor Clare Gordon acquired UK & Commonwealth, excluding Canada, rights for In Every Mirror She’s Black for Head of Zeus from Jessica Craig, at Craig Literary and will be published in hardback and ebook on 3rd February 2022. It will be published in the US & Canada in September 2021 by @sourcebooks @bookmarked.

In Every Mirror She’s Black follows three Black women whose lives become intertwined through their relationships with the same wealthy white man. Kemi is the marketing campaign star he hires to save his firm’s reputation after a disastrous racially insensitive ad campaign. Brittany is the model-turned-flight-attendant he plucks from her normal life and lavishes with wealth and affection. And Muna is the refugee, just granted asylum, who cleans his office building.

Through the stories of these three women, In Every Mirror She’s Black explores issues of race, sexuality, class and belonging in imminently readable prose.
 
 @lolaakinmade said, ‘Finding an editor who fully gets IEMSB and its unique voice was extremely important for me. I am beyond ecstatic and grateful to have found that home with Clare Gordon and thrilled to be joining the Head of Zeus family in the UK.’

@clareesme said, ‘I devoured @ineverymirror over the course of a weekend, lost in the worlds of Kemi, Brittany and Muna. They each felt so real and their voices stayed with me long after I finished reading. I can’t wait for readers to meet them.’

Translation rights are represented by Jessica Craig at @craigliterary and film & TV rights are represented by Ozi Menakaya @ozman927 at CAA @creativeartistsagency.
