Thread publisher Claire Bord has acquired World All Language rights in The Big Quit: How to ditch the job you hate and find work you love direct from the author – podcaster, writer, and journalist Anniki Sommerville.

Bord said of the deal:

‘Anniki’s no-holds-barred approach to navigating the ever-changing world of work has earned her a loyal and engaged following. In The Big Quit, she digs into many universal issues related to the world of work including how to spot the signs of burn out, practical tips on dealing with work anxiety, creating boundaries and how to build your confidence up after a career break or redundancy. This is a highly relatable, honest, and fresh perspective on how to find joy in your work life and will speak immediately to anyone who is stuck in a rut, desperate for change but doesn’t know where to start.’

Sommerville said:

‘I felt like I had spent so much of my life on the traditional career trajectory – working to achieve status and financial gain but never questioning what it was that I actually wanted from work. I wrote this book to reframe the conversations about work and encourage people to feel more empowered in making decisions about what they want their work life to look like. I’m excited to have signed with Thread and hope there will be many readers who will find The Big Quit helpful and supportive.

The Big Quit will be published in paperback original, ebook, and audio on 18th August 2022.
