In Good Company Lands a Book Deal
Machinist Closes Two (Excerpt)
Linda Chester agent Alexandra Machinist closed two deals last week. The first was for Good Company: Entrepreneurship for the Rest of Us, a book by the founders of In Good Company Workplaces, Adelaide Lancaster and Amy Abrams. Adrienne Schultz at Portfolio took world rights to the book, a best practices guide, geared to women, on making any business viable. Lancaster and Abrams’s company is a consulting firm that also provides networking services and actual work spaces. Machinist also sold world English rights, at auction, to Beatriz Williams’s novel, Oversea. Rachel Kahan at Putnam bought the book, which Machinist described as “Sebastian Faulks’s Birdsong meets Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander,” and Berkley is partnering as the paperback publisher. Rights have also been pre-empted in Germany and the Netherlands.
