Writing health and fitness

Feel better in body or mind, with evidence behind it.

Health books cover exercise, diet, sleep and mental health for general readers. Readers will change how they live based on what you write, so trust is everything.

What readers expect

  • Advice backed by research
  • Credentials or lived experience
  • Programs readers can follow
  • Encouragement, not shame

A tip before you start

Cite your sources and say what your expertise is. A health book without credibility is a hard sell to publishers and readers.
