Vermilion Life Essentials series launches in August

Vermilion is launching a its own Life Essentials series in August starting with revamps of five bestsellers featuring "original thinking and life-changing ideas" including How to Win Friends and Influence People and Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.

Susanna Abbott, publishing director, said: “Vermilion has an impressive track record of publishing bestsellers that go on to become must-read classics. This new series is a celebration of our fantastic catalogue, past and present, and will help us engage an even wider readership. Each title has been selected for its original thinking and life-changing ideas – ideas which are as important and relevant today as when they were first published. Vermilion’s ethos is publishing experts readers can trust and this new series showcases just some of the amazing talent we work with.”

Collectively the titles have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide across all formats and editions, Vermillion said.
