“The Shack” is set to go even bigger after “the FaithWords division of Hachette Book Group has entered into a co-publishing partnership with Windblown Media for the runaway bestseller The Shack by William P. Young.” Hachette will now handle sales, marketing, distribution and so on. The book has now sold over a million copies.
