New Adult seems to be the current Big Thing, with publishers all hoping for a mega-hit before the market gets too glutted. So she probably got there at the right time with a decent-enough manuscript - well done and good luck for her. If she manages to market the book well, I have no doubt she might do better on her own than with a traditional publisher deal.

I assumed she meant a contract with a publisher would mean signing her rights away for 35 years (i.e. a period during which the copyright, in essence, is something her publisher would have full control over), and just didn't word it quite right.
