Background
Janet Fitch's third novel was originally planned to be a lengthy historical novel. But after her publisher contacted her regarding the manuscript, Fitch was told that the project would most likely not be fulfilled.
She was given approval to finish Paint it Black after her agent read about one hundred pages of the handwritten manuscript. Fitch originally considered this work as side project.
