What a pleasure to be part of this celebration! 💖 You know when you read a really cool book and think “I’d love to meet this author, I bet we’d be friends in real life”…well, that was essentially this event 🍾🤌🏻🎈if you haven’t ordered your copy yet, what are you waiting for??
Surreal, humbling, otherworldly - yesterday I launched my @VersoBooks title "Everything To Play For" at a packed room of the @britishlibrary. To the wonderful audience, to all who have been supporting me through the past few years - I'm forever yours and thankful. 💗🫡😭✨
