Book Deal: Carole Matthews moves to Little, Brown
A couple of months ago we interviewed Carole Matthews and one thing I wanted to ask was what it was like to have been with the same publisher, Headline, since her first ever book. It’s unique for an author to be with a publisher so long, and very few authors seem to live out their career with the same one! However, there was a surprising nugget of information in Carole’s latest newsletter telling us that after 14 happy years at Headline, she will be moving to Little, Brown after the release of The Only Way Is Up (out in September)!
There’s no details about the deal and there’s been no official announcement yet! It also appears that Carole’s book after The Only Way Is Up, Could This Be Love? has now disappeared from Amazon, it was due out in February 2011 but I assume with Carole changing publishers, that may now change. We will of course keep you all updated about that, and I do look forward to seeing the new look Little, Brown are planning for Carole’s books as I am a HUGE fan of her newest batch of covers! It will also be interesting to see if Carole sticks with her two books a year schedule, I’ll be sorely disappointed if not, I love two Carole Matthews’s books a year!

You’re very eagle-eyed at Chick Lit Reviews! It’s true, after 14 very happy years with Headline, I’ve been tempted to pastures new and will be joining the fantastic team at Little, Brown. They’ve just won the coveted award for Publisher of the Year and also publish the utterly fabulous Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series. So I’m going to be in seriously good company. I’m still going to be doing two books at year, so no panic there! But Could This Be Love? has now be rescheduled for later in 2011 to allow time for the team to come up with a fantastic new look and marketing strategy. Oh, next year is going to be an exciting one! There’ll also be more opportunities for readers to get involved with the books, so I’m really looking forward to that too. I’ll keep you posted. Still, in the meantime, it’s business as usual at Headline for the next book - The Only Way is Up - which is out in September. I’m thinking you’ll like this one! Thanks for all the support from Chick Lit Reviews! You rock! C : ) xx
