Bolinda scoops Delia Smith’s self-narrated audiobook

Bolinda has secured the audio edition of You Matter, a philosophy and emotional wellbeing book, from Delia Smith.  

Nicki Powell, senior rights and content executive, acquired world audio rights from Richard Charkin at Mensch Publishing. You Matter (Mensch) will be released in audio alongside the hardback edition on 3rd March 2022. It will be published in all formats: CD, MP3CD and digital downloads.  

Smith is a bestselling author of cookbooks such as Delia’s Complete Cookery Course (Ebury). You Matter marks her first foray into the popular philosophy market. Smith narrates the full audiobook edition and encourages listeners to reflect on the phenomenon of existence, what it means to be human and the need for unity in uncertain times.  

Powell said: “It has been a privilege to work with a household name and cookery legend like Delia, especially as she takes on a new facet of the non-fiction market. Narrated beautifully in the author’s own voice, the audio edition of You Matter is especially inspiring and engaging. I know it will appeal not only to her vast existing fanbase but [also] attract new audiences.”  

Smith added: “It was a pleasure to record You Matter with Bolinda audio. Their team made the process of production exceptionally easy and enjoyable and I look forward to sharing the final audiobook with the world.”
