Hodder has acquired the story of a sexual submissive, Bound to You by Nichi Hodgson.

Fenella Bates, Hodder non-fiction editorial director, acquired world rights from Lisa Moylett of the Coombs Moylett Literary Agency.

She said: 'We are extremely excited to be publishing Nichi's book. There is clearly a huge appetite for erotic books at the moment, and this is a true story of how falling love can be a dangerous game.

"In Nichi we have an author who is not only a brilliant writer and gifted storyteller, but unlike other erotic memoirs this book isn't written under a pseudonym, and Nichi is an exceptionally bright and articulate ambassador for her book."

Bound to You will be published in e-bookt on 11th October, with paperback to follow on 8th November. 

Hodgson is a 28-year-old writer and broadcaster living in London, who worked as a pro-domme to fund her journalism studies. Specialising in sexual politics, she regularly contributes to the New Statesman, the Guardian, BBC Radio and Sky News.
