Crime writer Lynda La Plante has launched a new company, La Plante Global, which will control all of her future book, TV and film deals, as well as digital content and production. La Plante's former PR director at Simon & Schuster, Nigel Stoneman, has been made head of development at the company, handling negotiations for the author's novels and screen work and developing new content across all media.
Agent Gill Coleridge, who previously represented all La Plante's literary rights, will continue to represent the author's backlist and backlist foreign rights, including for her next novel Twisted, out from S&S in June.
