I haven't read The Time Traveler's Wife, but it did sell rather well. Well enough for Scribner to pay Audrey Niffenegger $4.8 million for her next book.
"It is an especially significant sum at a time of retrenchment and economic uncertainty in the publishing world."
Just...wow. And for skiffy, yet.
By way of Mediabistro.
UPDATE: dip into the Times article. It's the "only" in front of the $100,000 (The amount that Niffenegger was paid for TTTW) that gets to me. Yes, I know--mainstream and genre are different worlds. I know.
