15/07/2020: The STAUNCH Podcast is also now available on Apple podcasts: here! If you’ve listened to the podcast or read/listened to the book, please do consider leaving a short review – it really helps! Ideally, buy the book from an independent bookshop and then review on Amazon. I’ve heard that magic things happen when you get to 50 reviews (they push it right up the algorithm) and we’re currently not TOO far off, so I would be eternally grateful! x

14/04/2020: The STAUNCH Podcast is here! Luckily, it’s not me doing most of the talking – I interview people older and wiser than me about their stories and life advice. If I do say so myself, it is very comforting (and sometimes hilarious) listening at this time. You can listen to all the current episodes in all the usual places, and here on Spotify.

12/04/2020: What a weird time to have a book out! Still, STAUNCH has had some lovely reviews. Cosmo called it ‘a fun and uplifting memoir’ and I wrote a long-read for Stylist magazine about long-term break-ups. You might have heard me on Badass Women’s Hour on Talk Radio or on the Letters From Quarantine podcast. STAUNCH is available to buy in all the usual places as a hardback, ebook or audiobook. If you would like to support a small business at this time, please consider buying it from my friends at The Feminist Bookshop in Brighton, who are still delivering (by bicycle and free, if you happen to live in Brighton – via post if not).
