About
How did a writer no one had ever heard of go from seeming obscurity to the New York Times Bestseller list before her books were sold to the world's biggest publisher? What is fan fiction, and why have authors such as Anne Rice threatened legal action to stop it being written? Why would no one in publishing talk openly about the 'provenance' of publishing sensation's EL James' Fifty Shades of Grey? Why did Random House work round the clock to release Fifty Shades of Grey once they had bought the rights? And what does it all mean for the future of publishing? A Million Shades of Green is a short non-fiction account of how a novel-length piece of BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Sadism, Masochism) Twilight fan fiction called Master of the Universe was secretly transformed into the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Fifty Shades of Grey, before being sold on for millions of dollars to one of America's most esteemed publishing imprints and a major movie studio.
