DK Travel wants your book ideas!
Lottie spoke to DK's Zoe Rutland about their new imprint, DK Red, which is seeking submissions
Bonus newsletter alert! We got a special interview with an editor at DK Travel about their new narrative travel publishing list, so we wanted to share it while it’s hot! Before you dig in, though, we want to remind you about the Travel Connection Group’s Baubles awards:
We love these awards — not just because we got one last year, either — because they are there to celebrate the humans behind the words and the work within the travel media. They’re driven by nominations (you can nominate yourself, too, but we condone nominating your colleagues instead), and there are categories for travel writers, PRs and all-round excellent humans within our industry. Go nominate now!
Earlier this year, DK Travel announced a surprise new author signing: social media star Kacie Rose, whose book You Deserve Good Gelato was to be their first foray into longform, more narrative travel writing.
Now, DK has launched DK Red, a brand new imprint that encompasses narrative writing and other books across the lifestyle spectrum. I spoke to Zoe Rutland, senior editor at DK Travel, to find out what their narrative travel writing books will look like — and what they want from authors with ideas. They’re open for submissions, so here’s what you need to know 👇
