The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde will be published as Mantle‘s lead debut fiction title for 2023. After completing the BPA mentorship programme with head editor Sara Sarre, Kara signed with Charlotte Seymour at Johnson & Alcock, and the novel was pre-empted by former associate publisher at Mantle Sam Humphreys, with Alice Gray taking over as editor.

We couldn’t be happier for Kara and can’t wait to have this book in our hands! Watch the cover reveal here.

Pan Macmillan says: “The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, true love in all its forms, and how life is more than just a numbers game . . .”
