Pan Macmillan has made four “major” acquisitions as part of a “significant investment” in its business and popular science lists.
Non-fiction publisher Robin Harvie bought UK and Commonwealth rights excluding Canada to The Storyteller’s Secret by Carmine Gallo from SMP.
Gallo is the author of Talk Like TED, which Pan Macmillan said has sold 120,000 copies across all territories and formats.
In The Storyteller’s Secret, to be released in February 2016, Gallo “reveals the secrets to telling powerful, inspiring, and game-changing stories that will help you achieve any goal”.
Harvie said: “We are absolutely over the moon to be continuing our extremely successful relationship with Carmine, and I see no reason why we can’t sell at least as many copies of The Storyteller’s Secret as well as push sales of Talk like TED closer to the quarter million mark by the end of 2016.”
