I'm Sanne. Nine years ago I moved from the Netherlands to London, where I'm currently working as a freelance social media producer in the publishing industry, event host and content creator. I've been making videos for 12 years and on my channel I talk about books, translation, the publishing industry, London, travel, plus career and creativity advice. If you're looking for your next book to read, need a confidence boost before starting your internship/new job or want to follow my journey trying to reach new creative and freelance goals, you're in the right place!

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. Now that I live in London, I still mostly have my American accent, but with lots of British vocab mixed in. ◦ Where do you live? I currently live in North London. ◦ Where do you work? I’m a Freelance Social Media Producer, public speaker and YouTuber/blogger. Before that I was an Audience Manager at Penguin Random House UK. ◦ How did you get your job in the publishing industry? I did publishing work experience on 3 different occasions, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running my YouTube channel for 8 years. P.s. you don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing. ◦ What kind of brands are you interested in collaborating with? I’m especially keen to work with brands that focus on books, films, travel (mainly Europe and UK), London, museums and the arts, education and sustainable lifestyle. ► Some of my favourite videos I’ve made ☾ Let me pick your next book club read • • Let me pick your next book club book (that... ☾ London Room Tour • • 🌿 Cottagecore and Book-lover London Room ... ☾ My favourite books of 2019 • • My 10 Favourite Books of 2019. ☾ To all the books I’ll never read • • to all the books I'll never read ☾ Sustainable clothing Q&A • • A week of sustainable outfits + answering ... ☾ 10 Things I’ve learned from freelancing • • 10 Things I've Learned from Freelancing. ☾ When should you abandon a book? • • When Do You Abandon a Book? 💁🏻 ☾ Favourite classics retellings • • Our Favourite Classics Retellings | with Lex ☾ How to get into publishing and my career story • • 📖 Getting Into Publishing & My Career So Far. ► Book Reviewing Policy I can currently only accept a small number of books for review and I don't accept self-published books.
