Janet Evanovich
Publishers Weekly ran an article in last week’s magazine that posed the question, “Is any author worth $50 million?” This comes as a response to the recent news that mega-bestseller Janet Evanovich has announced she is leaving St. Martins Press and signed a four-book deal with Random House. Random House reported in their press release that 75 million copies of Janet’s 33 novels have sold worldwide, so she certainly seems worth the investment. Her first book with Random House’s Bantam Ballantine Dell division will be released mid-2011. Two of the books will be Stephanie Plum novels and the other two novels will be in the author’s newer “Unmentionable” series.
