Facts and the fiction of a young author's astonishing arrival
Article Abstract:
Leading UK literary agents Curtis Brown and AP Watt are believed to be competing fiercely to represent debut novelist Keri Beevis. It is reported that she has already signed a deal worth 750,000 pounds sterling with unknown publishing company Buckley-Bennion. Her family believes that her association with writing began at the age of 12, when she had a nightmare after watching the film 'The Shining.' She then began writing every evening in a trance-like state.
