Cornerstone has bought the rights to two new books by health and fitness guru Rosemary Conley. Cornerstone managing director Susan Sandon acquired world rights directly from the author herself.
The first title, Lose a Stone in a Month with the Amazing Inch Loss Plan, will be published by Century as a trade paperback on 7th January, to tie in with new year’s resolutions.
The £10.99 book will be a step-by-step guide that shows how to lose a stone in 28 days. It will include menu plans, recipes, exercises and motivational tips. The new regime will also be launched nationwide across the 170 Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness clubs next year.
The second book in the deal is untitled as yet, but will feature a new concept from Conley, and is due out in 2011. The title will be a guide to looking young with advice on everything from cooking and exercise to hair and make-up. Arrow commissioning editor Emma Rose said: "It’s a really good opportunity to try something new."
She added: "Rosemary’s healthy living ethos and advice has helped improve the way we eat and exercise. But what makes Rosemary really stand out from the crowd is her incredible commitment to her diet and fitness clubs and their members. Her personal touch is what motivates her followers, and she’s an inspiration to real women."
Conley created a low-fat diet plan in 1986 and her first book, Hip and Thigh Diet (Arrow) was published two years later. She has since written a number of books including GI Hip and Thigh Diet (Arrow), Rosemary Conley’s Low Fat Cook Book (Century) and Rosemary Conley’s Complete Flat Stomach Plan (Arrow). Her diet and fitness clubs have over 80,000 members in the UK.
