When I was at Summit, I was bidding against Lionsgate on The Hunger Games, and we were the final two bidders.
My lesson at that time was if you really, truly believe in something, don’t get too clever with that deal.
We countered back at Summit, and Lionsgate said, ‘OK [to their counteroffer.]’
But what was so great is that once Lionsgate acquired Summit, I was able to be reunited with that book that I adored and take over from Catching Fire on.
