Sir Chris Hoy's 'major' new book to be published by Hodder & Stoughton after cancer diagnosis

Hodder & Stoughton is to publish a "major" new book from Sir Chris Hoy after he revealed in an interview over the weekend that his cancer was terminal.

Susannah Otter, publishing director for non-fiction at Hodder & Stoughton, has bought UK & Commonwealth (excluding Canada), and Europe rights to All That Matters by Sir Chris Hoy from Emily Barrett at The Blair Partnership, after a "highly selective submission and hotly contested auction". All That Matters will publish on 7th November in hardback, e-book and audiobook, which will be read by the author.

The book will cover Hoy’s 2023 cancer diagnosis in full, and will reveal the extent of his illness and how he plans to live the rest of his life.

The publisher added: "It covers the shock and the processing of the news that he has stage 4 cancer, his life in retirement more generally, and ends with a deep resolve to turn this incredibly difficult diagnosis into something positive that will help others."

The Sunday Times’ News Review will serialise All That Matters this coming Sunday, 27th October. This will accompany a publicity and marketing campaign to support publication.
