DK LIFE
Fritha Saunders, Publisher, DK RED, DK Life
I have been working in publishing for almost 20 years and am passionate about helping expert writers reach new audiences.
The books I am most drawn to as an editor – and as a reader – are books that teach us something about ourselves and the world around us; books that have the potential to change the reader’s life in a big or small way. I’m on the lookout for authors and books to publish with passion: groundbreaking popular psychology, natural history, smart thinking ‘ideas’ books and cutting-edge health. I would love to hear about authors who bring an audience with them, and I am particularly keen to publish expert-led books. Platform, profile and personal connections are equally important.
A book I‘m proud of…
Man & Dog: A Love Story is a heart-warming, hilarious and brilliantly written memoir by bestselling author Tony Parsons, about life with his late dog Stan. It’s a story of family, home and the incredible bond between humans and the animals in their lives.
Books I wish I'd published...
…on the DK RED list include Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben and Shattered by Hanif Kureishi.
