NAPERVILLE, Ill., Oct. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "Working with the dynamic
thinkers at Sourcebooks to expand Freida
McFadden's footprint has been a dream and we are so pleased
to extend the partnership through 2026 and beyond," says
Christina Hogrebe of Jane Rotrosen
Agency (JRA). In an exclusive submission, Freida McFadden signed a major seven-book deal
with Jenna Jankowski at Sourcebooks.
Poisoned Pen Press will publish three new frontlist psychological
thrillers, four backlist titles, plus three novellas in the deal
brokered by Hogrebe.
Sourcebooks' reader-centric approach—speed to market paired with
wide, immersive distribution the world over—has led to exponential
growth title-over-title for McFadden. In 2024, all three
of McFadden's brand-new frontlist thrillers, The
Teacher, The Housemaid is Watching, and The
Boyfriend, debuted at #1 on the New York
Times bestseller list.
The partnership between Freida
McFadden and Sourcebooks has also seen record-breaking
success internationally. The Housemaid is Watching was
an instant bestseller in eight countries across five continents.
McFadden's latest blockbuster standalone The
Boyfriend was an instant bestseller in the UK and
Canada with international McFans flocking to exclusive editions at
retailers like Indigo (Canada) and
The Works (UK). Sourcebooks will continue to build momentum across
international markets with world English print rights included in
this deal.
"At Sourcebooks, we are always focused on helping our authors
reach new heights, and Freida is a perfect example of how we can
break new ground together," says Dominique
Raccah, Publisher and CEO. "As we extend our partnership,
we'll continue to innovate with Freida, push boundaries, and ensure
that her work reaches even more readers worldwide."
Looking ahead to a robust publishing schedule in 2026,
Jenna Jankowski, McFadden's editor,
points to this author's "consistent, keen ability to subvert and
defy reader expectations. Her books surprise and entertain which
makes the announcement of the first book in this deal, Dear
Debbie, so exciting." Dear Debbie—featuring
her most chilling protagonist since The
Housemaid's Millie Calloway, Debbie Mullen, an advice columnist whose
pastimes include tending a poison garden, tracking cheating
husbands, and revenge—will lead the year-long seven-book rollout
publishing late January.
