A Y.A. Book Deal for Mr. Fifty Shades of Grey - Entertainment - The Atlantic Wire

A Y.A. Book Deal for Mr. Fifty Shades of Grey - Entertainment - The Atlantic Wire: Fifty Shades of Grey, the erotic trilogy that's been at the top of best-seller lists for weeks and months, it's all so blurry now, even outpacing sales of Harry Potter, may change publishing forever. For one thing, there's the fact that it started as Twilight fan fiction. For two, it was self-published, only catching the eyes of publishing industry folks once it started selling digital copies like virtual hotcakes. And for three, there's that whole related licensing deal, by which fans will soon be able to buy sheets, fragrance, apparel, and any number of other Fifty Shades-branded accoutrement.
