White Lion lands 'inspirational' Farmer Will book

White Lion Publishing has landed a book from the TikTok star and Love Island contestant Will Young, more commonly known as Farmer Will. 

Andrew Roff, commissioning editor, acquired world rights from Eddie Gold at The Gold Studios. The book, provisionally titled Farmer Will’s Modern Farming Guide, is due for publication in the autumn.

Young is a sixth-generation farmer whose TikTok videos capturing various aspects of farm life have reached millions of followers on the platform. White Lion said his upcoming book will reveal the inner workings of his farm in Buckinghamshire, season by season. 

Young said: “I can’t wait to show the world my incredible farm and introduce you all to some of our animals. Mabel the lamb wants an entire chapter dedicated to just her.”

Roff said: “When I first saw Will’s videos I was immediately hooked by his passion for his animals and farming. He’s an utter delight and I am so excited for people to read his story. It’s not only pure farm escapism but also inspiration that we can all follow, to do what we love and lead the good life.”
