Studio Foglio has announced multiple book and game licenses for its hit Girl Genius property, which will give it new, broader exposure than it’s had at any time in the past.  

 

Books will be published in three formats in 2011.  First up will be a prose novel, published by Night Shade Books.  Agatha H. and the Beetleburg Clank, the first volume in the Girl Genius Trilogy, will be released in Spring 2011, with subsequent volumes to be released in 2012 and 2013.   

 

Audiobook versions of the novels will be published by Brilliance Audio.

 

Tor Books will collect the first three Girl Genius graphic novels in a compendium, for release in Fall 2011.  Studio Foglio will continue to publish its graphic novels; volumes 10 and 11 will complete the first great arc of the Girl Genius saga. 

 

Bucephalus Games will re-issue the critically acclaimed Girl Genius ‘The Works’ card game in 2011. 

 

Facebook and iPhone games based on the property are also in development. 

 

Girl Genius, created by Kaja and Phil Foglio, was the first winner of the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story in 2009 (see “Girl Genius Wins Hugo”).
