While the rest of the world enjoys the last hours of March 31st, April Fools' Day is already in full swing in Australia. Penguin fooled a lot of people with this doozy:
Exciting news: @PenguinTeenAus will publish ebook by @johngreen. The story of Augustus Waters and Caroline Mathers
Quite a few people were taken in.
@PenguinTeenAus @johngreen will it be available in the US and other markets as well or is this an AU exclusive?
@PenguinTeenAus @johngreen ONDRRDTGBSSD
@PenguinTeenAus @johngreen OAHDJCI I NEED THID SO BADLY
Including, apparently, John Green's own American and international publishers.
My American publisher and several of my international publishers fell for @PenguinTeenAus's April Fools Day joke.
Never forget, world. We're always a step ahead (or, well, a day at least).
(One must always bear in mind the date and time in Australia.)
And thanks Penguin Teen Australia FOR MESSING WITH OUR EMOTIONS.
