Self-Published author gets contract

St Martin's Press, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, has secured a four-book deal with US author Amanda Hocking, who shot to fame by selling more than a million copies of her self-published books.

Amanda's best-selling works include the Trylle trilogy and the My Blood Approves series.

St. Martin’s Press will publish Ms. Hocking’s 'Watersong' series, four books in the young-adult paranormal genre, after paying a rumoured seven-figure sum for the deal, announced this week.

Exciting news for Amanda, and further proof that self-publishing can be a great springboard for writers keen to get their work published. We look forward to seeing the new series!
