The latest "Fifty Shades of Grey" news pointed to the new study, which credited the success of EL James novel in inspiring more women to write and self-publish. Meanwhile, cast Jamie Dornan talked about his sereis, "The Fall."

According to the "Fifty Shades of Grey" news from The Guardian, a research study by Alison Baverstock, an associate professor in publishing at Kingston University, Surrey, revealed that the success of the novel managed to "overturn the stereotype of a self-published author."

The research revealed that 65% of self-published authors are women and only 35% are men. "Nearly two-thirds of all self-publishers are aged 41 to 60, with a further 27% aged over 61. Half are in full-time employment, 32% have a degree and 44% a higher degree," the publication said.

Baverstock also claimed that EL James should be credited for knowing her audience. "She is pretty sophisticated ... she had self-belief," the researcher added. "The books people really want to share are fiction."

The researcher added that there are genres that "traditional publishers" have ignored and these are "respectable soft porn" or "gentle memoirs of everyday disasters, such as losing a child."

One of the issues is that the clique of publishers is very inclusive so they are not necessarily "in touch with popular taste."

Meanwhile, in other "Fifty Shades of Grey" news, cast Jamie Dornan talked to Belfast Telegraph about his "refreshing" series, "The Fall."

"The first thing I said to Allan [series creator Cubitt] was, this is so lovely to read something set in this part of the world that doesn't involve the Troubles directly or sectarianism, or any of those crap things that hold this country back," he said.

"Not that it's some kind of love story or altogether positive, but it's just refreshing that it wasn't about that. And you know, why not set it here?" Jamie Dornan said.
