Weidenfeld & Nicolson has acquired the memoir of BBC Radio 4 "Saturday Live" presenter and Church of England priest, the Reverend Richard Coles.
Non-fiction publisher Alan Samson bought world rights, Europe and Far East exclusive from Robert Caskie at PFD in the book, Fathomless Riches. W&N will publish in hardback in 2014 as a £20 hardback and an e-book priced £10.99.
Coles has nearly 40,000 followers on Twitter, having so far lived a life which has incorporated being the multi-instrumentalist on 1986 hit "Don't Leave Me This Way" by The Communards; reading theology at King's College; becoming an openly gay priest; and joining the BBC Radio 4 team in 2011.
Samson said: "The extraordinary diversity of Richard Coles' life, and the range of his talents and interests, means that this book is destined to be one of the most readable and illuminating memoirs of the year."
