EXCLUSIVE: Screenwriter Laura Lekkos’ debut novel, All the Little Ways, has been bought by Gallery Books – a division of Simon and Schuster – and will hit shelves in in June 2026.
The novel follows insecure 32-year-old Liz and powerful 43-year-old Victoria who couldn’t be more different. But unexpected pregnancies land them in an unlikely friendship that alters the course of their entire lives – and the lives of everyone around them. When an explosive revelation threatens their transformative bond, Victoria and Liz question not only their own friendship, but all of their relationships.
“With its rich, complex characters and a plot that seamlessly blends humor, heartache, and surprising twists, All the Little Ways captures the essence of modern womanhood and female friendship. It’s a narrative brimming with cinematic potential, one that will resonate with readers and viewers alike,” said Hannah Braaten, Executive Editor at Gallery Books.
Lekkos is known for writing female-centric stories, having worked on various film and television projects. Lekkos is the screenwriter behind Amazon MGM’s upcoming romantic comedy, Relationship Goals, which is in post-production. She also adapted for film, Somewhere Only We Know, based on Maureen Goo’s novel set up at Netflix. Lekkos also has multiple projects in development including a pair of new films in development at Amazon Studios.
