A Year of Nothing follows Emma’s quiet rebellion against the cult of doing. Over four seasons, she steps away from the noise to rediscover joy in life’s simplest pleasures, from dog borrowing and dopamine dressing to relearning how to swim and embracing a child-free life.
We worked closely with Emma to translate the two printed volumes of A Year of Nothing into one beautifully designed new paperback. With a new foreword by Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, it is designed to appeal to Emma’s large existing readership as well as being more widely available via trade sales channels to extend its lifetime and audience.
The beautiful book cover was designed by art director and illustrator, Anna Morrison, a talented designer from our curated network. Emma was closely involved in the design process with a clear vision for something illustrative and unique. Anna created a striking, evocative cover design that perfectly answered the brief while also aligning with both Emma’s brand and the colourful, playful style of her other books.
As A Year of Nothing had been published previously, a structural edit wasn’t required and we brought on board two of our most trusted freelancers for copyediting and proofreading. The finished book is available as a print-on-demand (POD) paperback and eBook via Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, allowing readers, retailers and distributors globally to order it.
