We are delighted to announce we have sold world rights for Drawing Nudes While Making Other Plans by Zoe Gaetjens to Penguin Random House Australia.

Drawing Nudes While Making Other Plans is a YA novel about finding yourself where you least expect to…in a room full of naked people!

Change has always made 17-year-old Cleo anxious, or more anxious than usual. Thankfully her older sister has been by her side, protecting and preparing her through the creation of numerous plans. However, now that she doesn’t have her sister to lean on, not only are Cleo’s Summer Plans thwarted, but she is left alone and adrift. And so Cleo finds herself at the Australian Art School in Sydney for a summer-long Life Drawing Program. With a group of teenagers she doesn’t know, Cleo will navigate new friendships, first love and wonky penises.

PRH plans to publish the title in May 2026.
