Love reading the book before the film? Here are some films based on books that are currently in the cinema or coming out in the first half of 2019. If you've seen or read them, let me know what you thought!

I was invited to screenings of the following films (with no obligation to review): Colette, Can You Ever Forgive Me and If Beale Street Could Talk.

Can you review my book?
I’m always happy to hear about upcoming books, but I’m afraid I don’t review self-published books and can only accept a small number of books for review. I enjoy reading classics, dystopian/apocalyptic novels, sci-fi, translated fiction and a variety of graphic novels, YA and contemporary literary fiction. Get in touch at booksandquills@gmail.com

Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Lit at Leiden University (also in the Netherlands), studied in the US for 3 months and have lots of American friends. I'm definitely not Irish or Canadian, I promise!

Where do you live?
I live in London and have been here for 6 years now.

How did you get into publishing?
I did publishing work experience, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running this channel. (P.s. You don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing!).
