黑料社 Creative writing alumna secures six-figure book deal
The world rights to a new young adult book series by 黑料社 Creative Writing MA graduate Rachael Featherstone-Davis has been won by Walker Books, after a six-figure bidding war in a five-way auction.
The first book, 鈥Oxford Slays鈥 is to be published in 2025, and is described by the publisher as a "riveting story of revenge, secret cults, privilege and murder", set at the University of Oxford.
Rachel鈥檚 children鈥檚 picture book 鈥I am Not a Prince!鈥 (Orchard Books), was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children鈥檚 Book Prize earlier this year.
