EXHIBITIONISTS by Samantha Quinn pre-empted by Berkley in a major six-figure deal

In an exciting debut announcement, Samantha Quinn’s first novel, Exhibitionists, has sold in a major two-book pre-empt to Jen Monroe at Berkley (U.S.), with publication slated for 2027. The deal was brokered by Olivia Maidment at the Madeleine Milburn Literary Agency.

Pitched as for fans of Coco Mellors, HBO’s Industry, and the film Challengers, Exhibitionists follows an ambitious intern at an elite art gallery who finds herself caught between two rival curators—and a dangerous secret that could unravel everything. The novel promises a heady mix of desire, ambition, and art-world intrigue, set against a backdrop of glossy sophistication and emotional intensity.

In addition to the U.S. deal, UK rights were acquired at auction by Rosa Schierenberg at Viking UK, and German rights by Rowohlt.

Congratulations to Samantha Quinn on this remarkable debut!
