Zara Anvari, Senior Acquisitions Editor, Health + Home, DK LIFE
I’m on the lookout for authentic and authoritative voices that offer fresh perspectives on issues we navigate every day. I love a practical book that educates, entertains and endures – and speaks to audiences worldwide.
My mission is to publish trailblazing titles that help readers both ask and answer life’s big questions (on the health side of the list) and offer inspiration and ideas for engagement in the beautiful things in life (on the other). While my remit is broad, my particular focus is on family and health, mind body spirit, and handicrafts, arts and crafts – extending into fitness, house and home.
A book I’m proud of…
The Science of Beauty is a book I'm especially proud of. Trusted cosmetics scientist, chemistry PhD and beauty educator Dr Michelle Wong offers honest, evidence-based beauty advice and explains extraordinarily complex science with unparalleled clarity. It has seen global success with over 75,000 copies sold worldwide and translations into many languages.
A book I wish I’d published…
A book I wish I had published is The Photographer's Playbook. This fantastically accessible book presents the ultimate creative education for amateurs, with ingenious exercises and expert contributions from some of today's most successful photographers.
