Speaking & book clubs
Invite her to tell it in person
She takes a limited number of talks, readings, book club visits and interviews each year.
Formats
Four ways to have her along
Keynote or reading
Thirty to sixty minutes, with readings from either memoir and time for questions.
Book club visit
In person where practical, by video call anywhere. Groups of any size.
Podcast or radio
Remote or in studio. She is comfortable with long-form and with difficult questions.
Press & media
Interviews, features and review copies. Publisher enquiries welcome.
What she talks about
Not a motivational talk. A true one.
Audiences hear about being born unwanted, being orphaned and adopted, surviving an assault at sixteen, and starting a dancing career at an age when most people are stopping.
And they hear about what came after: eighty-three years old, still here, still writing, and living a life she would not trade. She does not lecture. She tells you what happened.
Enquire
Tell her about your event
Include the date, the format and roughly how many people will be there. She replies personally, usually within two working days.

The secrets are out. You may as well read them.
