Over more than a decade in the DK+ team I’ve worked on almost every kind of book for virtually every kind of reader, across our hugely diverse range of licensing partners and brands, but I currently focus on high-end, premium titles aimed at adult fans.
I’m passionate about all things fantasy and sci-fi, as well as real-world history, and I always enjoy finding ways to combine those interests in my books! From commissioning atmospheric narrative non-fiction to compiling dense, intricate encyclopedias, I want my books to immerse fans in their fictional universe of choice, enriching their experience and showcasing their passion to friends and family – a physical manifestation of their favourite hobby that they can display and share.
A book I’m proud of…
As a lifelong Warhammer fan, it’s been immensely satisfying spearheading our new Warhammer list, working closely with Games Workshop to bring the distinctive DK approach to this iconic brand. Warhammer is going from strength to strength and attracting many new fans, and our books are playing a key role in that. It’s been great seeing Warhammer 40,000 The Ultimate Guide proudly displayed on so many hobbyists’ shelves!
A book I wish I’d published…
I’m an avid gamer, and the quality of video game books has increased markedly over recent years, as fans look for premium products that expand on their favourite games. The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia really sets the gold standard for what these kinds of books can achieve – rich, visually stunning, and packed with exclusive content that builds on the lore of the game.
