Touchstone to Publish Four New Philippa Gregory Titles

Philippa Gregory has signed a new four-book global publishing agreement with her longstanding U.S. publisher Touchstone and Simon & Schuster U.K. Three of the books will be novels, introducing a series following multiple generations of the Fairmile family, from the mid-1600s to the early 20th century, and the lands they inhabited, from West Sussex, England to Chicago, Ill.. The first yet-to-be-titled novel in the new series is scheduled for simultaneous publication by Touchstone, Simon & Schuster U.K., Simon & Schuster Canada, Simon & Schuster Australia, and Simon & Schuster India in September 2019. The fourth book will be a work of non-fiction, exploring the contributions of extraordinary, yet little-known women throughout the centuries, historically demonstrating women as agents of their own destinies. Audio editions of all four works will be simultaneously published by Simon & Schuster Audio. Ian Chapman, chief executive and publisher, Simon & Schuster U.K., acquired world publishing and audio rights from Anthony Mason, Philippa Gregory’s literary agent and husband, who represented Gregory in the negotiation. Philippa Gregory’s longtime editors Trish Todd of Touchstone and Suzanne Baboneau, managing director of the adult publishing division for Simon & Schuster U.K., will jointly edit the works.
