NINE FOREIGN DEALS FOR ELEANOR CATTON'S DEBUT NOVEL, THE REHEARSAL!

- from United Agents' latest newsletter

It's exhilarating to see everything coming together so beautifully for this exceptionally talented writer from New Zealand (she's only 23-years-old)!

Caroline Dawnay signed Eleanor Catton up as a new client last November and Granta quickly pre-empted English rights and Little, Brown then pre-empted US rights.

With a Brazilian pre-empt accepted last week, the list of foreign publishers is now up to 9:

Holland: Ambo Anthos
France: Denoel
Sweden: Wahlstrom & Widstrand
Norway: Oktober
Italy: Fandango
Spain: 451 Editores
Germany: Arche-Atrium
Israel: Am Oved
Brazil: Record

Footnote:

Eleanor Catton (pic) will be home for the Auckland Writers & Readers Festival.
