UK/ANZ Rights Deal for Christchurch Author

Christchurch based Helen Lowe, who is represented by the international literary agency Writers House, has just sold the UK and Australia/New Zealand rights to her 4-book Fantasy series, THE WALL OF NIGHT, to Little Brown & Co in the UK. The agent who made the deal was Writers House's British Rights Director, Angharad Kowal.

The North American rights to THE WALL OF NIGHT series were sold to HarperCollins USA in 2008 and the first book, The Heir of Night, is scheduled for publication in the United States and Canada in October.

When asked how she felt about the deal, Lowe said: "Very happy! Selling the books into the UK and Australia/New Zealand markets, as well as being published in the USA/Canada, is a pretty big deal for a new author."

Congratulations Helen, great news indeed.
