Authors often speak about receiving several rejection letters from publishing companies before they finally hit the jackpot.
Yet it was a completely different story for first-time author, Sean Terrill from Tenterfield, who received a publishing deal on his first attempt.
And the success didn’t stop there – Terrill’s first book in a trilogy Quest for the Ark is available for purchase over the internet through major online stores and in bookstores in Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, Canada and South Africa.
On top of this, his investor has already received offers from film producers to buy the movie rights to the manuscript.
“I sent it to two publishers and I was picked up straight away. I was dumbfounded; you hear all these stories that it takes years to be picked up,” Terrill said.
“It’s quite mind-blowing to be sitting with the finished product. It’s pretty exciting,” he said.
His publisher, Raider Publishing International, has authors in more than 70 countries worldwide, and is an award winning organisation that has published bestsellers on four different continents.
The Quest for the Ark is a tale of love, betrayal, danger, intrigue and inexplicable events.
