Worldwide publishing rights to Hopwood DePree’s memoir ‘Finding Hopwood’, about his humorous and heartwarming adventures of moving from Hollywood to northern England to rescue his dilapidated 600-year-old ancestral home, Hopwood Hall Estate, were acquired in a multi-house auction by Executive editor Rachel Kahan of William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins USA, with a six-figure advance.
FINDING HOPWOOD was developed from DePree’s acclaimed one-hour live stand-up comedy show that toured in 2019 and culminated at last year’s Edinburg Fringe. DePree also regularly releases comedic videos of his adventures on his YouTube channel.
