PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: Matt Fraser Lands Simon and Schuster Book Deal
Gallery Books Nabs Medium’s Memoir
In a deal for a book by a man the publisher calls “America’s top psychic medium,” Gallery Books bought Matt Fraser’s When Heaven Calls. Jeremie Ruby-Strauss took world rights to the book from Imal Wagner at Phoenix Rising PR.
Fraser, S&S said, regularly mounts sold-out shows across the country; he is also set to star in his own reality show, E!’s forthcoming Meet the Frasers. The memoir is set for March 2020 and will, S&S explained, detail how the author “discovered his spiritual gift, what it’s like to connect with souls on the other side, and what communicating with the dead has taught him about embracing life.”
