Delighted to receive a copy of this from @translatingwomen.bsky.social, who wrote the introduction. Latin American writers have consistently written some of the boldest, most challenging and illuminating accounts of female experience I’ve encountered. #booksky #feminism #translation

Lately, I’ve sent RELEARNING TO READ to Armenia, India, Bhutan, the US, France, Italy, Eritrea and the UAE. These days, sending parcels internationally involves lengthy paperwork. So today I gave copies to Penny and Kate at my local post office to thank them for helping me get my book out there.

Whoop! We have SOLD OUT of the special numbered editions of RELEARNING TO READ and it's not even published yet! But don't despair, the paperback is available and comes in three slightly different covers. If you order one, it's a lucky dip. Or order three to be safe... renardpress.com/books/relear...

Today is a sneaky early launch for my book #RelearningtoRead, published by @renardpress.com with a wonderful introduction by Lucy Caldwell. The official paperback publication date is 1 October but today fifty of these limited-edition copies, signed and hand-numbered by me, tumble into the world.

Dear Will Dady from @renardpress.com drove more than two hours yesterday to bring hot-off-the-press copies of my new book #RelearningtoRead to my house for me to sign. This has to be my favourite thing a publisher has ever done for me.

Thirteen years ago, I declared this man the writer I would most like to meet. Now I’m in Greenland with him. The world is full of so much darkness. We human beings do terrible things to one another. But there are also moments like this #anafricaningreenland #greenland

I'm not sure it was ever quite a library of Alexandria (I remember how awful chatrooms were) but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be possible to do a project like a year of reading the world on the internet now.

It'll be my first night in Nuuk in just over a week's time, so it seems fitting to prepare by reading this (tr. Anna Halager). #anfricaningreenland #witmonth

So the #education secretary has announced that 2026 will be the UK’s National Year of Reading. If only there were a book coming out this October about putting the joy and curiosity back into #reading 🤔
(Still got a couple of ARCs if you’d like to see one)

Honoured to have an essay in this collection, published today in the UK, alongside work by such household names as Michael Morpurgo, Madeleine Thien, William Boyd and Nikesh Shukla. Many of my most powerful exchanges with book lovers around the world have involved messages from young people.

A year ago today, I met legendary Togolese explorer Tété-Michel Kpomassie in person for the first time. This summer, I am travelling to Greenland with him. Life really is extraordinary

Today it’s the #coverreveal for my next book, RELEARNING TO READ: ADVENTURES IN NOT-KNOWING… and here’s one of them. This book has several slightly different covers to reflect the fact that there is more than one way of reading - if you order the paperback you won’t know which version you’ll get!

Prepping for the trip of a lifetime. This 2024 Bradt travel guide asks ‘why had nobody taken the opportunity to spend time in this huge, fascinating country and write about it for fellow travellers?’ They must not know the work of Tété-Michel Kpomassie #AnnandAnAfricaninGreenland

Walking through the picturesque streets of Sherborne on my way to talk about #Readingtheworld at Sherborne Travel Writing Festival. More than ten years after the first edition of the book was published, it’s wonderful to see it still finding new readers and audiences.

Flowers to mark my dad’s year’s mind at the church he attended for more than forty years. The past twelve months have been tough. Thanks to everyone who has been there for me through it - both those who knowingly made time to listen, support and share memories…

These numbered, limited Renard Press Editions are seriously beautiful. First time I’ve had my mitts on one. You just don’t get this level of care and attention to detail with the big houses. A privilege to be part of it. @renardpress.bsky.social

Such a joy to interview the wonderful Clare Chambers in front of a packed house at Faversham Literary Festival - one of those rare authors who is as funny and insightful IRL as on the page.
