Vermilion snaps up Attia’s ‘groundbreaking’ guide to longevity 

Vermilion has signed a “ground-breaking guide to longevity” by Dr Peter Attia, the founder of medical practice Early Medical and host of “The Drive” podcast about longevity science.

Senior commissioning editor Holly Whitaker acquired UK and Commonwealth rights for Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity from Rachel Berkowitz at Harmony, PRH US. It is Whitaker’s first acquisition since joining Ebury’s Self Hub earlier this year.

Outlive, described by the publisher as “the ultimate read on living longer and better”, will be a key title for Vermilion in March 2023.

Vermillion says Outlive “challenges the conventional medical thinking on ageing and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health.”

Its synopsis continues: “It’s a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health. With Outlive’s practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.”

Whitaker said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be publishing Dr Peter Attia’s revolutionary book next year. The Ebury team were captivated by the project from the moment of submission, and we instantly knew it would be a perfect fit for the Self Hub. Dr Peter’s writing is hugely engaging, accessible and practical, and his innovative health advice will improve – and extend – the lives of so many readers.”
