The Bone Season Author, Samantha Shannon, Featured In Telegraph + Book Trailer

August 12, 2013 By achuka Leave a Comment

The idea she had back in 2011 has grown into a 480-page novel, The Bone Season, for which Bloomsbury paid in excess of £100,000.

So far rights to the novel, published in Britain on 20 August, have been sold in 20 countries – and this is just the first in a seven-book series, which should keep her busy until she is well into her thirties.

What’s more, the film rights to The Bone Season have been bought by the actor Andy Serkis’s company, The Imaginarium.
