Meet the next J.K. Rowling: Samantha Shannon

Not many University students can say they've written a novel whilst studying.

Even fewer can say it will be published in 24 countries and that the film rights have been snapped up before they've even graduated.

However, Oxford graduate, Samantha Shannon is the exception.

Two years ago, at the age of just 19, she found the time to write The Bone Season - the first in a seven-part fantasy series.

The Bone Season is out now.
