Jim Gifford at Simon & Schuster Canada has acquired Karen van Kampen’s The Brain Never Sleeps: Why We Dream and What it Means for our Mental Health, for publication in the winter of 2026. The Brain Never Sleeps is a journalistic approach to the science of dreams. We spend every night of our lives dreaming, yet we remain unaware of the power and possibilities of our dreams. Karen van Kampen guides us on a journey through dreamland, sharing how we can reclaim this other realm of experience and use our dreams to improve our well-being. Amy Tompkins at Transatlantic Agency brokered the deal for World English rights. 

Karen is represented by Amy Tompkins.

Congratulations, Karen!
