Keenan turns novelist for Hodder
16.04.08 Tom Tivnan
Rowena Webb and Helen Coyle at Hodder have signed up Shy Keenan, bestselling misery memoir author of Broken, for a four book deal. The deal was done through David Riding at MBA. The first title will be non-fiction, with the second, due in autumn 2009, to be Keenan's first novel.
Webb said: "Shy is an amazing survivor as well as a very talented writer. I believe that her incredible knowledge of how ordinary people can survive the extraordinary means she has a hugely successful fiction career ahead of her."
