Fourth Estate signs Toni Tone's life lessons in two-book deal

Fourth Estate has signed two non-fiction titles from Toni Tone, including Take Note: Real Life Lessons. 

Michelle Kane, public relations and publishing director, acquired world rights from Crystal Mahey-Morgan at OWN IT! Take Note will be published in November 2022, with the second title to be announced. 

Take Note  will be filled with "invaluable" life lessons coupled with experiences from Tone’s life to provide advice on topics from confidence, managing friendships, making the most out of a career and navigating negativity on social media.

Tone is best known for her writing on Twitter and has been featured in the Independent, Elle and Cosmopolitan. She is also the host of the podcast "Money Moves with Toni Tone" and author of I Wish I Knew This Earlier: Lessons on Love (HarperCollins).  

Kane commented: "Toni’s first book centred squarely on dating and relationships, and it went straight into the Sunday Times bestseller lists at number three in its first week of publication. With Take Note: Real Life Lessons, Toni’s astute, wise and inclusive big-sisterly advice is now being applied across lots of different life aspects. Toni’s generosity in sharing her own lessons learned will undoubtedly help her readers to successfully navigate the often-choppy waters of their own lives. I’m so proud to be Toni’s publisher and I can’t wait for this book to be out in the world making a positive contribution!" 

Tone added: "I’m so excited to bring my readers a follow-up to I Wish I Knew This Earlier: Lessons on Love. In this book I continue to share the valuable lessons I learned in my twenties, which have shaped me in helpful ways today. I’m hoping that readers find Take Note just as valuable and as insightful, and I’m also thrilled to be with my excellent editor Michelle and the brilliant Fourth Estate team for my next two projects."
