Crime fiction writer Karin Slaughter (pictured, via) has landed a deal with HarperCollins. The company will oversee the publication of the English and foreign language editions for four Slaughter books.
Here’s more from the press release: “This marks the first time the publisher has simultaneously acquired both world English and foreign language rights with the intent to publish across all HarperCollins locations worldwide. The deal was negotiated with Victoria Sanders at the Victoria Sanders & Associates agency.”
Pretty Girls, the first Slaughter title that will be released under this new agreement, is slated to come out in September 2015. HarperCollins will publish a version of this book in almost every country it operates in; the exceptions include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Holland.
