Stephenie Meyer is really on a hot streak. Hachette Books is increasing the print run for the fourth book in Stephenie’s Twilight vampire series, Breaking Dawn.

Little, Brown is increasing the first printing of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga, from 2.5 million to 3.2 million copies, making it the largest-ever first printing for the Hachette Book Group. The book pubs at midnight on August 2, and hundreds of bookstores will be holding midnight parties, a la Harry Potter. According

to spokesperson Melanie Chang, the print run was upped after internal discussions about excitement from accounts were combined with bookseller feedback at BEA. The Twilight saga has a combined 6.5 million copies in print.

Her new book, The Host is riding the bestseller lists. You can read an interview with Stephenie here.
