Just back to reality from a much needed sunny break... And look! A generous and thoughtful review from Zoë Brigley and the good folk at Modron . Thank you🩵

A lovely, heartfelt review of Seaglass here from Lottie Williams and Nation.Cymru (shared belatedly by me as I return to this swirly, dizzying space that is the internet..) If you want to step back, to breathe, to rest a moment from it all - I think my book might be for you ☺️

Publishers have submitted their books for consideration of the 2024 #NeroBookAwards, so let's celebrate our inaugural year one last time! We are giving one lucky winner the FULL SIXTEEN shortlisted 2023 Nero Book Awards books as well as some Caffè Nero goodies! 🥳🥳

Witnessing plans for this game-changing project evolve during my time with New Writing North was the most exciting thing. Everything Claire and the team have are doing is a massive inspiration - and fuel for my dreams about what we might one day achieve in Wales 😁👀 Go team!

Friends! Wherever you are you can come along to this 😁 An online event with the very lovely folk at walk · listen · create >>

This month's Dwell letter includes a bit of an ode to beautiful Wales - and the expanding map of places I get to call home. Not long after this issue landed in inboxes yesterday, I landed in another landscape of my heart: Ontario. Bring on August! ☀️ kathryntann.substack.com/p/august-is-he…

Looking forward to this when I get back from the Canadian wilderness! With the ever lovely folk at walk · listen · create. It's online and open to all - do join us if you can ☺️

Very pleased to tell y'all that Seaglass is finally available in North America! Thanks to the good folk at UChicagoPress - you can buy it in all the usual places. Feels apt to be sipping a g&t in Canada to celebrate 😁

Chuffed to be coming back to Durham Book Festival in October... though this time as an author! And my goodness, what an absolute corker of a programme the brilliant team have put together. Book-lovers of the North East: I'll see you all there? 👀

This month's essay, written with the scent of Ontario pine still lingering on my clothes: Love, deep as the lake. On the gravitational pull of certain places. kathryntann.substack.com/p/love-deep-as…

Really looking forward to this! Nice to be doing an event online for a change too 😊

So looking forward to holding this workshop at Durham Book Festival in October! You know the best thing about creative non-fiction? You can write about anything and everything 😊🌿🌊
