Niffenegger’s Novel Goes to Scribner for $5 Million

Bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger sold a new novel, Her Fearful Symmetry, for nearly $5 million to Scribner, for publication in October. The auction for the manuscript was “fiercely contested,” according to the NY Times, and a notably generous deal in such uncertain economic times. The UK edition will come out from Jonathan Cape.
