Tindal Street Press has completed a deal with Man Booker-longlisted author Gaynor Arnold for a collection of short stories and a novel, in an unagented deal completed this week.
The Birmingham-based indie, which published Gaynor's début Girl in a Blue Dress in 2008, secured world rights for a "modest advance".
The short story collection, entitled Lying Together, is due out this autumn, while the unnamed novel—to be structured around a Lewis Carroll figure in a similar manner to her novelisation of Charles Dickens in Blue Dress—is due out in 2011.
Alan Mahar, publishing director, said: "Gaynor's very exited about [the novel] as Blue Dress was quite a substantial novel, and concept, so she has taken her time about starting something new."
Tindal Street plans to sell territory rights into a number of English-speaking countries, including the US, where her first book sold well.
