Viral Poet Nikita Gill Reimagines Greek Goddess in Debut YA Trilogy

The Guardian calls Irish-Indian poet Nikita Gill "Britain's most-followed poet on social media"-she has 780,000 Instagram followers and 180,000 TikTok followers, and her Instapoetry has been reshared by the likes of Khloe Kardashian, Alanis Morissette, and Sam Smith-and she has published seven volumes of poetry and two novels in the U.K. But she is far less known on this side of the pond. Margaret Raymo at Little, Brown acquired Hekate and its sequels, a loosely connected trilogy of novels in verse about the Greek goddesses of the Underworld, at auction in February, and hopes to make Gill a big star in the U.S. as well. The first book is due out in fall 2025, with the next two tentatively scheduled for summer 2026 and winter 2027.
