Liz Gough, MD, DK Living 

Chances are, you have a DK book on your shelves at home – I’ve discovered most people do! Since joining the business, I’ve also discovered that people sometimes make assumptions about what we publish, so as Managing Director of DK Living (our Adult division) I want to ensure you are as excited and exhilarated by our publishing, our potential – and our super-talented editorial team – as I am. 

I like to think of DK Living as a gateway, helping readers dive into their passions, whether that’s for cooking, gardening, travel, astrophysics, natural history or art. Our world-renowned, market-leading illustrated books spark discovery, inspire and provide beautiful content – whatever you are into and wherever you are in the world. With a raft of bestselling titles in the last year in the UK alone, and big plans afoot, we are brilliantly poised to expand our reach even further and grow significantly over the next three years.

Our DK RED imprint is the new home of our narrative non-fiction and is a huge part of my vision for DK Living, forming a cornerstone of the strategy as we continue to diversify our publishing. We’re ambitious, strategic and on the lookout for books that get people talking, motivate readers to live even fuller lives – and will top the charts!

We're incredibly lucky to have so many passionate, driven, and motivated authors already on our list, and as we keep expanding in the coming years, we can't wait to welcome even more.
