Graham Norton has moved to Century with two new novels.
Publisher Selina Walker acquired world English-language rights to the books from Melanie Rockcliffe at YMU and Amanda Harris at Maven.
"It has been a life-long ambition to publish Graham," Walker said. "He’s a wonderful writer and a brilliant storyteller who creates warm, empathetic characters and he is particularly gifted at creating women who face crossroads in their lives. His books are rooted in community and are gripping, perceptive and full of a wise humanity that is entirely Graham. We are, at Century, the number one publisher when it comes to creating and maintaining big brand authors and Graham will, of course, be one of the biggest brands of all. I cannot wait to start publishing his novels."

Norton said: "Creating fiction has become such a large and pleasurable part of my working life, so I couldn’t be more thrilled that the next chapter of my writing career is going to be with Century with the wise and experienced Selina Walker guiding me forward. Let the stories flow!"
Rockcliffe added: "Graham has firmly established himself as an original voice in fiction. This new publishing partnership marks an exciting next chapter in Graham’s writing career."
"Graham Norton is a brilliant novelist," Harris said. "Working closely with Selina and the Cornerstone team, this is an exciting moment to bring new readers to his wonderful books."
