► About Me
Hoi! I'm Sanne. Ten 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 13 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!

► Frequently asked questions
◦ 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. 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 St Albans, just North of London.
◦ Where do you work?
I’m a Freelance Social Media Producer, public speaker and KZfaqr/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 KZfaq channel for 8 years. P.s. you don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing.

This might be the longest edit I've done in my entire KZfaq career 😅 I hope you enjoy the beautiful views! Also, this may just be the first episode of a new series of videos... If you have a literary location you think I should visit next, let me know! - Sanne

Fantastic Video! The Tourism industry has been hit hard, what a wonderful idea to showcase various literary travels to inspire both the traveler and the armchair traveler 😊. I would love to see you visit Belfast for all things C.S. Lewis! The trail, the square etc. Thank you for taking the time to make such an enjoyable video!! Happy Bookish Travels!!

Dear Sanne, thank you for this beautiful and very informative video. I've had it in my playlist since uploading, but it has never felt like the right time. Until now, there is a bank holiday today and finally an autumnal feel outside, I sat down with it to watch and enjoy. Take care and best wishes from Slovakia

Oh Sanne! I've been a subscriber for a decade and you are one of the few creators I always come back to this platform for - and this may be my favourite video of yours, ever! I have lived in Edinburgh for 3 years and just a couple of months ago I finally did a weekend trip to the Borders - Melrose and Abbotsford to be precise, so not nearly as many places as you managed to see. But seeing those places - and the ones I am yet to visit - through your lens and eyes and with how you wove the history of the place and its literary greats together made me appreciate them even more. Thank you for what must have been quite a grueling edit and for sharing the trip with us - can't wait for any other literary trips you might do in the future. ❤

This video lowered my blood pressure. Such gorgeous work. Thank you for sharing. I read Private Memoirs and Confessions in a gothic lit class during my undergrad and ended up writing my capstone/thesis paper on it because I enjoyed it so much. My former English literature major self geeked out hard over this video. Can’t see what else you have in store for the series!

Such a beautiful and inspiring video! 😍 As a student of the English language and culture myself, I have been wanting to visit some of the beautiful places of Great Britain for the longest time. Without a driver's license, it would have to be by train, and without anyone else wanting to come with me, it would also have to be a solo trip - but maybe one day soon enough I will be brave enough to do it.

I started reading Mysteries of Udolpho last week, so this provided some really interesting context as it was published in 1794. I haven't been to Scotland in a while, and I miss it very much, very cosy video. :D
