Quadrille signs YouTuber Anna Newton

Quadrille has acquired a book about how to streamline your life by YouTuber Anna Newton.

Newton runs "The Anna Edit" channel on YouTube, where she has 450,000 subscribers, and her book An Edited Life gives readers advice on sorting out their wardrobe, exercise schedule, food budget, workspace and more.

“An Edited Life is not a rulebook as there's no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to life organisation, but instead it's a guide to cherry-pick from, with the ultimate aim of editing your life in a way so that there's less time spent faffing and stressing and more time for you to spend doing whatever makes you happy,” said Newton. “I’m excited for readers to implement these ideas which borrow from a minimalist framework, but in a way that can be personalised for each and every one of us.”

Susannah Otter, commissioning editor at Quadrille, acquired world rights from literary agent Abigail Bergstrom at Gleam Titles and will publish in January 2019.

Otter commented: "As a long-term fan of Anna and inveterate clutter-er, I’m thrilled to be publishing this brilliant, realistic book on how to get every aspect of your life in order."
