Sophie Kinsella has two events coming up in which she’ll be discussing her world-famous books, the writing process and her new novella, What Does it Feel Like?, that charts her character Eve’s brain tumour diagnosis. Eve’s story is based on Sophie’s own diagnosis of a GBM brain tumour in 2022 and her subsequent treatment.
On 9th October, Sophie will appear in a free online event, for Fane productions, which will be hosted by acclaimed Irish author Marian Keyes. The event airs at 6.30pm UK and will be available for two weeks.
On 10th October, Sophie will be at Waterstones Liverpool at 6.30pm, being interviewed by Times journalist and author Sophia Money-Coutts.
Sophie announced her devastating diagnosis on her social channels earlier this year adding that: “I am so grateful to my family and close friends who have been an incredible support to me, and to the wonderful doctors and nurses who have treated me.”
Sophie continues to support the work we do to drive vital awareness and raise funds for research into brain tumours and she, her husband Henry and their family have our utmost thanks and gratitude for continuing to highlight the work being down for everyone diagnosed and for being such an incredible source of inspiration and comfort to her worldwide fans.
The Brain Tumour Charity is doing amazing work in supporting research into brain tumours, providing resources to patients and their families, and bringing hope to so many who, like me, have received the upsetting news that they have a brain tumour. I am so grateful for all they do, and fully support their mission to improve treatments and raise awareness.”
Sophie has sold over 45 million copies of her books in more than 60 countries, and she has been translated into over 40 languages. She is the author of many number one bestsellers, including the hugely popular Shopaholic series and The Burnout, which was published last October. She has also written seven bestselling novels as Madeleine Wickham and several books for children.
