Audrey Niffenegger, the woman who wrote the Time Traveler’s Wife, just received a five million dollar contract for her new novel from Scribner. This is what EVERYONE is talking about today. I was flabbergasted to learn that the author kept her foreign, audio and CANADIAN rights. I’ve heard that the book is “good,” “what her audience wants,” “thin,” “needs edtiting,” is “really good,” is a “big gamble if her first book was a fluke,” “is a smart bet,” “you do the math,” “the p&l does work.” The agent was reported to make publishers come to his office and pick up a copy of the manuscript, well, their messengers. I would like to know if any grapes were peeled, as well. Am I jealous? You do the math.
