MJ acquires two from Moyes

02.07.12 | Charlotte Williams

Michael Joseph has acquired two new novels, as yet untitled, by Me Before You author Jojo Moyes.

Managing director Louise Moore signed a two-book deal with Sheila Crowley of Curtis Brown for British Commonwealth rights excluding Canada, with the first to be published in 2013.

Moore said: "Me Before You is proof that commercial women's fiction is alive and flourishing. Jojo gave us the right book and the result speaks for itself. We have loved working with Jojo at Penguin, and to publish into this genre in an entirely new and exciting way."
