"I’m delighted to have been entrusted with the chance to build on Continuum’s reputation over the last decade for serious, seriously readable non-fiction," Hoskins said. "I’ll be commissioning new voices and looking for fresh ideas across politics, current affairs, biography, travel and history, and above all for books that inform as well as entertain. There is a real hunger for quality non-fiction from readers around the world at the moment, and I can't wait to get started."
