Doubleday pre-empts ‘reflective’ essay collection from South Korean writers Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana (Bookseller)

“Doubleday has pre-empted Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana’s Two Women Living Together, a South Korean collection of 51 “reflective, funny and inspiring mini essays” about the authors’ choice to live together “as two single, middle-aged women”. Translated by Gene Png, the book will be published in October 2025 with “charming” illustrations.

Non-fiction publisher Susanna Wadeson signed UK & Commonwealth rights in a “significant” deal from Edwina de Charnace at Mulcahy Sweeney Associates on behalf of BC Agency, Seoul. North American rights were also acquired in a pre-empt by Deborah Ghim at Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins.”
