A note from Randall White, the CEO of EDC Publishing, the home of Usborne and Kane Miller Books on the American release of Conspiracy 365.
Hello,
Last week we were very excited to receive a full-page write up in Publishers Weekly about our acquisition of Kane/Miller and Conspiracy 365. However, it gets better. CONSPIRACY 365 is featured on the COVER OF PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, October 26, edition. The cover is a FOUR PAGE FOLDOUT, and, there's more...we also have the back cover and inside back cover. THE COVER plus five more pages in PUBLISHERS WEEKLY! This investment is unprecedented, and our largest advertising promotion ever. This is in conjunction with the release of CONSPIRACY 365 by our overseas partners, the largest trade publishers around the world, including Random House and Hachette, the two largest, who expect great things from this series. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY hits the newsstands this week and retails for $8.
The trade launch of Conspiracy 365, in stores worldwide, is January 1, 2010. However, this exciting new series will be available to be delivered to the school and library market November 13th!
Randall White
President & CEO

Quoted from Publishers Weekly Article, mentioned above.
At this year's Bologna Book Fair, Lynn acquired U.S. rights from Scholastic Australia to a new YA series by Gabrielle Lord, a bestselling Australian author of adult crime novels. The new series, aimed at ages 11–15, is called Conspiracy 365; in addition to being published by Scholastic in Australia, it is being released in a number of major markets, including the U.K. (Hodder), Germany (Random House) and France (Hachette). Lynn said she was able to land the series for Kane/Miller because of the close relationship she had developed with Scholastic Australia working on other projects. The first book (Conspiracy 365: January) will be released worldwide on January 1, and a book a month will be published throughout 2010.
