A teenager who uploaded her novel about vampires on an e-book app has been snapped up by publisher HarperCollins.
Abigail Gibbs, 18, allegedly struck a six-figure deal for the print and e-book rights to her first book, The Dark Heroine: Dinner With A Vampire, as well as a sequel.
Gibbs, who is studying English literature at Oxford University, had been offering excerpts of her book to the world via Wattpad, which lets writers upload their own work online.
When she was 15, Gibbs began posting serially under the pseudonym Canse12, and 20 chapters are currently available.
The Dark Heroine gained 17 million reads on Wattpad, which was where she was discovered by her agent.
