Book Mark :An intense war among nine publishers over a three-day auction, five agents vying to represent the book and reams of publicity even before it hits market. It is not the release of a long-lost manuscript of the Bible but the launch of The Red Carpet, Lavanya Sankaran’s debut collection of eight stories. The attractive Bangalorean made waves when the book, sold for a six-figure dollar sum, was shortlisted for Barnes and Noble’s Discover Great New Writers programme. But Sankaran has no time to count the zeros on her cheque. She is already looking ahead - at a novel. |
