YouTuber Burr moves to Blink for Christmas title

Blink Publishing has won the rights to publish YouTube star Tanya Burr’s third book, Tanya’s Christmas.

The YouTuber’s two previous titles Love, Tanya and Tanya Bakes were both published by Penguin.

Blink said it outbid rival companies for its editorial director Kelly Ellis to acquire exclusive worldwide rights to publish the title, from Abigail Bergstrom at Gleam Futures.

Burr started her YouTube channel in 2009, with make-up and style tutorials, and has since amassed over 3.6 million subscribers.

Tanya’ Christmas will focus on her “favourite ways to make the Christmas season as magical as possible” and feature illustrations, festive recipes and craft ideas, as well as tips on how to celebrate in style at Christmas parties, host the ultimate yuletide gathering and find the perfect gift, said Blink.

Burr added: “I’m really excited to be working with Blink to share everything about my favourite time of year, all wrapped up in a book. I want it to be the ultimate Christmas guide that can be returned to year after year for a magical Christmas time.”

The book will be published this autumn.
