Slaughter's FBI most wanted to HarperCollins

HarperCollins has signed a digital-first series of non-fiction shorts curated by Karin Slaughter.

HC UK will release monthly shorts in the series, Karin Slaughter’s Most Wanted, with different writers tackling an entry on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

The deal was negotiated by Victoria Sanders & Associates and Kate Elton, executive publisher at HC UK, for world English rights. Publication will begin in spring 2015, with a print compilation following later.

Elton said: “This move into non-fiction—to a series that will incorporate all the qualities which have built Karin such a large and loyal readership—feels both a very natural and a very exciting move.”
