Finally, I can share the Big Writing Project with you! For the last almost two years I’ve been working away in secret on my second book, a.k.a. The Big Writing Project! Gloaming: folklore, recipes and crafts to spark glimmers of joy in the darker months will be published by Bloomsbury in the UK on 22 October (and the US on 12 January 2027). It’s a warm, restorative guide filled with cosy crafts, soul-nourishing recipes and mindful activities to inspire creativity and nurture connection to lead you to engage more deeply with the world around you and make the most of the season you’re in. You can pre-order it here, and it would mean the world if you did. In today’s post, I wanted to share a wee peep behind the scenes of my second book, how it came to exist, and a little of its journey to publication.
