Self-published author Kerry Wilkinson lands 6-book deal
Kerry Wilkinson, the self-published author who topped the ebook charts, has signed a six-book deal with publisher Pan MacMillan.
It also covers the release in print form of his three published ebooks - Locked In, Vigilante and Woman in Black. For the first time, Wilkinson’s novels will be available to buy in bookshops in traditional format.
Wilkinson said: “This type of six-book deal for a ‘nobody’ like me is absolutely unprecedented in the publishing world.”
The 31-year-old sports journalist began writing novels barely a year ago but went on to sell 250,000 copies in six months despite no formal advertising, becoming the number one best-seller on Amazon in the last quarter of 2011.
