Lorna Russell

Senior Editorial Director, Ebury Spotlight

I like an outlier with an under-the-mainstream following, from TT legend Guy Martin through to RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Trixie and Katya, but am equally happy in a more traditional showbiz world and was thrilled to publish Cliff Richard. I’m on the look-out for celebrities, TV personalities, sportspeople and musicians who have a distinctive story to tell or a unique expertise to share, with other published examples including Sue Barker’s autobiography, Will Young’s A–Z of wellbeing Be Yourself and Happier; Gogglebox’s Giles and Mary’s memoir The Diary of Two Nobodies and Fred Sirieix’s refreshing bestseller Wine Uncorked.
