Stephenson jumps ship for Atlantic
18.03.08 Tom Tivnan
Cryptonomicon author Neal Stephenson has moved from Heinemann to Atlantic Books to be reunited with former editor Ravi Mirchandani.
Mirchandani, who became Atlantic's editor-in-chief last year, bought UK and Commonwealth excluding Canada rights in Neal Stephenson's new novel, Anathem, from the Sayle Literary Agency.
Mirchandani said: "Anathem manages to remind the reader of H G Wells, Umberto Eco and Mervyn Peake and yet be entirely and gloriously itself. I am entirely delighted Stephenson will be joining us at Atlantic."
