Associate Publisher Kathryn Taussig acquired World English Language rights from Sarah Ballard at United Agents.

Dawson’s first title for Bookouture, The Daughter, will be published in January 2018. A young mother, Jess tells a lie to protect someone she loves and loses her five-year-old daughter – only to be confronted twenty years later by a series of harrowing messages from the past.

Kathryn Taussig said:

I have long admired Lucy’s writing, so I’m beyond thrilled to be publishing her in my first acquisition for Bookouture. She’s got a real gift for writing genuine characters, and I think this is her best book yet.

Lucy Dawson says:

I’ve watched Bookouture’s performance in the ebook market with growing admiration for some time now. Their numbers speak for themselves and I’m delighted to be in the fold. I couldn’t have asked for a warmer or more enthusiastic welcome back to Hachette.

We do hope you will join us on Facebook and Twitter to celebrate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
