Agent John Jarrold has concluded a second, three-book world rights deal for UK fantasy author Stephen Hunt with Sarah Hodgson of HarperCollins Voyager, for “a good five-figure sum.”
Hunt’s first book with Voyager, The Court of the Air, was published in April 2007. His next novel, The Kingdom Beyond the Waves, is coming from Voyager in May, and a two-book deal for US rights with Tor was recently announced. The book has also sold in territories across Europe and the Far East.
Hodgson said: “Stephen Hunt is a hugely talented and inventive writer and we’re thrilled to have signed him up to Voyager list for three more novels.” All three of the new books will be set in the same world as The Court of the Air and The Kingdom Beyond the Waves.
