As commissioning editor for the adult nonfiction list at Watkins, I am on the lookout for titles on health and wellbeing, self-help and personal development, nature and the environment, with a dash of Watkins spirituality and folklore.

I am particularly passionate about books that explore the effects of nature and the environment on our wellbeing. I would love to hear about projects that focus on alternative lifestyles and am interested in new takes on perennial favourites such as yoga, mindfulness, longevity and how we can apply ancient wisdom to modern times.

I am seeking projects and stories from underrepresented voices and communities within the UK, US and beyond that have a practical takeaway, with a special focus on creating contemporary, eye-catching books for a mainstream audience of millennial and Gen-Z readers.
