Gary Wigglesworth moves to Summersdale with The Movie Lover’s Quiz Book

Gary Wigglesworth is moving to Summersdale with his next quiz book, The Movie Lover’s Quiz Book, which follows The Book Lover’s Quiz Book (Robinson) and its sequel The Book Lover’s Quiz Book 2.

Commissioning editor Claire Berrisford acquired world rights in all languages from Stevie Finegan of the Zeno Agency Ltd, for publication in September 2025. 

The author has worked in the book trade for many years, first at Blackwell’s, then at Hodder Education and now at the British Library. The synopsis of his new book says: "Inside you’ll find an eclectic mix of questions, all designed to give you hours of entertainment whether you’re testing yourself from your armchair or running quizzes for friends and family at the local pub [...] There are 20 quizzes of picture clues, connections, conundrums, multiple choices and much, much more. Interspersed with fascinating film facts, this book is guaranteed to tax even the most encyclopaedic movie buff and make a perfect Christmas present."

Berrisford said: "Engaging quiz writing takes real skill and Gary does it with an abundance of flair and humour, always managing to keep it fun for everyone, whether you’re a casual film fan or a movie aficionado. Readers will love the inventive quiz rounds and the bounty of trivia that can be found within."

Wigglesworth added: "From the original notion to the glitzy premiere, I’ve always found the whole world of film fascinating. So, I’m delighted to be penning my first movie quiz book – it will feature an eclectic mix of questions, lots of clues to aid guessing and some amusing red herrings. I’ve really enjoyed working with the team at Summersdale to make this the movie lover’s quiz book!"

Finegan said: "I’m delighted that Gary has found a home for his new book with Summersdale, who are a publisher I have long admired and always wanted to share a book with. Claire Berrisford has been banging the drum for this book from the moment I submitted and I can’t wait to see the beautiful product they create and bring to market, especially at a time when quiz books are booming."
