Berkley’s Jen Monroe preempted world rights to Claudia Lux’s debut, Sign Here, in an exclusive-submission two-book deal. Sign Here, Berkley said, is a “genre-bending” tale about a guy working in hell (literally), who, in order to land a promotion, must convince a member of a wealthy family to sell their soul.

Monroe said the novel is like “The Good Place if it were a thriller,” and that it explores ideas about “family, memory, morality, and the all-consuming power of love.” Lucy Cleland at Kneerim & Williams represented Lux, whose father was the poet Thomas Lux. Sign Here is set to bow as one of Berkley’s lead titles in fall 2022. The second book in the deal is currently untitled.
