As a nutrition coach I see popular diet myths not only confuse people and make it harder for them to lose weight, but also create unnecessary food guilt, anxiety and other mental health issues. I want to show people there is a simpler, more enjoyable way to weight loss, better health and lasting happiness."</p> <p>Higginson said: "Graeme remains a breath of fresh air with his fact-based approach to helping people build a healthy relationship with their bodies and food. He is both straight-talking and supportive, offering genuinely useful advice for people navigating the complex world of weight loss."</p> </div></div></div> <span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2021-10-14T12:00:00+01:00">October 14, 2021</span><li class="item-inline"><a href="/article-type/news">news</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/categories/rights">rights</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tag/ebury">Ebury</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/laura-higginson">Laura Higginson</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/graeme-tomlinson">Graeme Tomlinson</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/graham-maw-christie">Graham Maw Christie</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/jennifer-christie">Jennifer Christie</a></li><div class="field field-name-field-subscriber field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Subscriber :&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-premium field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">premium:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-sticky-to-category field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Sticky at top of category lists:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"></div></div></div> Thu, 14 Oct 2021 11:01:15 +0000 tamsin.hackett 1284866 at https://www.thebookseller.com https://www.thebookseller.com/news/fitness-chef-book-ebury-1284866#comments Belton promoted to agent at Graham Maw Christie Agency https://www.thebookseller.com/news/belton-promoted-agent-graham-maw-christie-agency-1275855 <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.thebookseller.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/belton.jpg?itok=wxid8w6k" width="192" height="181" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Graham Maw Christie Agency (GMC) has promoted Maddy Belton to agent.</p> <p>Belton joined the non-fiction agency as an intern in 2018 before becoming&nbsp;a full-time assistant in 2019.

We are quite simply over the moon to have her hit bestseller lists around the world, as her UK sales go from strength to strength. In just three and a half years, Raynor has gone from being a completely unknown debut author to being a major brand name in nature writing and memoir.</p> <p>"Jen Christie at Graham Maw Christie has been a brilliant partner in helping us strategically build Raynor’s powerhouse brand around the world, and we are all in countdown mode for Raynor’s third book, which will publish in September next year.”&nbsp;</p> </div></div></div> <span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2021-07-20T14:30:00+01:00">July 20, 2021</span><li class="item-inline"><a href="/article-type/news">news</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/categories/rights">rights</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/raynor-winn">Raynor Winn</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/penguin-michael-joseph">Penguin Michael Joseph</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/fenella-bates">Fenella Bates</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/jennifer-christie">Jennifer Christie</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/graham-maw-christie-agency">Graham Maw Christie Agency</a></li><div class="field field-name-field-subscriber field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Subscriber :&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-premium field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">premium:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-sticky-to-category field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Sticky at top of category lists:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"></div></div></div> Wed, 21 Jul 2021 08:00:00 +0000 Heloise Wood 1273070 at https://www.thebookseller.com https://www.thebookseller.com/news/winn-writes-two-more-books-pmj-1273070#comments Endeavour signs Deeney's Love & Care https://www.thebookseller.com/news/endeavour-signs-deeneys-love-care-1239403 <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.thebookseller.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/Deeney.png?itok=DbzSthoh" width="192" height="181" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Octopus imprint Endeavour has signed&nbsp;<em>Love &amp; Care</em> by journalist Shaun Deeney, “a thought-provoking and often funny” account of a man becoming a carer for his mother just as he is hoping to find love one last time, post-divorce.</p> <p>Claudia Connal, publishing director, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Jennifer Christie at the Graham Maw Christie Agency. The hardback will be published on 20th May 2021 with a simultaneous e-book and audiobook.</p> <p>Deeney is a former journalist and Emmy award-winning film and TV producer, who has made current affairs programmes on social issues, including care. <em>Love &amp; Care</em>, based on his podcast of the same name, charts his first year of learning to care for his mum who has Parkinson's dementia.</p> <p>The publisher explained: “Writing with raw honesty and humour, Shaun reflects on his own experiences of both love and care —&nbsp;as a son, a father, and a man —&nbsp;as he attempts to come to terms with the present reality and keep hope alive. A hugely timely publication, <em>Love &amp; Care </em>touches on issues of ageing and care faced by many families around the world, which have been exacerbated by a pandemic that has seen 4.5 million people in the UK facing new care responsibilities, joining Britain’s existing seven million-plus carers.”</p> <p>Connal said: “The past year has seen many of us taking on caring roles and learning to cope with the highs and lows that come with it. I was immediately drawn to Shaun’s story. We have fallen in love with Shaun’s wonderful prose – the heartfelt descriptions of life with his mother, the touches of gentle humour and the wry observations.<em> Love &amp; Care</em> is a book for our time. It is truly a celebration of our capacity to love in all its forms.”</p> <p>Deeney added: “I desperately wanted carers to be seen as people with their own lives and tell the truth about care by writing openly about my own experiences and failings, both as a carer and as a man, but with a genuine sense of hope for the future. Because though there are challenges in learning to care there are also hugely valuable lessons in love.”</p> </div></div></div> <span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2021-03-01T14:15:00+00:00">March 1, 2021</span><li class="item-inline"><a href="/article-type/news">news</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/categories/rights">rights</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/endeavour">Endeavour</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/shaun-deeney">Shaun Deeney</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/claudia-connal">Claudia Connal</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/jennifer-christie">Jennifer Christie</a></li><li class="item-inline"><a href="/tags-bookseller/graham-maw-christie-agency">Graham Maw Christie Agency</a></li><div class="field field-name-field-subscriber field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Subscriber :&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-premium field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">premium:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">0</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-sticky-to-category field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Sticky at top of category lists:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"></div></div></div> Tue, 02 Mar 2021 08:45:00 +0000 mark.chandler_475941 1239403 at https://www.thebookseller.com https://www.thebookseller.com/news/endeavour-signs-deeneys-love-care-1239403#comments Headline acquires self-published Anxiety Rebalance in two-book deal https://www.thebookseller.com/news/headline-acquires-self-published-anxiety-rebalance-two-book-deal-327581 <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.thebookseller.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2016/04/22/Anxiety%20Rebalance.png?itok=QRkzKvKu" width="192" height="181" alt="Anxiety Rebalance: All the Answers You Need to Overcome Anxiety and Depression" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Headline has acquired <em>Anxiety</em> <em>Rebalance: All the Answers You Need to Overcome Anxiety and Depression </em>by Carl Vernon, in a two-book deal.</p> <p>Muna Reyal, publisher at Headline Publishing Group, acquired world English&nbsp;rights in a&nbsp;"heated" auction, handled jointly by agents Jane Graham Maw and Jennifer Christie, of the Graham Maw Christie Literary Agency.
