Daniel Crewe

Publishing Director, Viking Non-Fiction

I mainly publish in the areas of modern history and biography, culture and politics, and especially love anything that’s a landmark work/series, that looks at a big subject in an intimate way, or that relates to everyday life.

I publish authors including Antony Beevor, Jonathan Dimbleby, His Holiness Pope Francis, Billie Jean King, Ben Macintyre, Joe Moran, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, and catalogue authors including Lyn Macdonald, George Mikes, Spike Milligan and David Niven. I also publish books on the Penguin Life list by authors including James Nestor, Julia Samuel, Haemin Sunim and Robert Sutton.

I love working with expert authors from the initial idea – around 50% of Viking’s non-fiction is commissioned pro-actively – to thinking about their next book.
