Transworld nets first book by social media star Greedy

Transworld has netted the first book by social media star Charlotte Greedy. 

Kate Fox, deputy publishing director, bought world rights to You Do You from Lauren Gardner at Bell Lomax Moreton. It will be published by Bantam Press in spring 2023.  

Gardner hit the headlines through her viral DIY transformation of her first home on a shoestring budget of £5,000, charted on her popular Instagram account @missgreedyshome. From there, she has built a committed following of more than 370,000. You Do You will inspire her readers to begin their own journey to self-love, confidence and building the life they truly deserve, the publisher said. 

Fox said: “Charlotte Greedy is a true powerhouse of positivity and a real source of inspiration and fun for her followers. Her honesty and humour shine through in every post. The way that she transformed her home was just the start of her journey, and she is a shining example of how self-belief, creativity and graft get results. I cannot wait to bring her message to new readers in the beautiful package she deserves.” 

Greedy added: “I remember questioning whether or not to post a video for the first time on my channel, but I kept thinking, ‘Imagine there’s one person out there now needing a reason to start again’. I hope this book brings my readers the message that they can achieve anything they set their mind to. You just have to believe in yourself— and as always, You Do You.”
