The Bookseller
Quote:
Headline has acquired Drama Queen, a "compelling and funny" memoir about autism from comedy writer Sara Gibbs.
Publishing director Sarah Emsley acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Rowan Lawton at The Soho Agency, for publication in May 2021.
Drama Queen is described as both "a tour inside one autistic brain" and "a declaration that a diagnosis on the spectrum, with the right support, accommodations and understanding, doesn’t have to be a barrier to a life full of love, laughter and success". The synopsis reads: "It is the story of one woman trying to fit into a world that has often tried to reject her and, most importantly, it’s about a life of labels, and the joy of ripping them off one by one."
