Bookface Book Swap Brunch
Cosmopolitan and Red magazine's former editor-in-chief Sam Baker will be the guest author at the highly popular Bookface Book Swap Brunch in Glasgow on Saturday 4th June.
About Bookface Book Swap Brunch
Adding to the journalist and broadcaster’s substantial portfolio are her five novels, the most recent, The Woman Who Ran, a riveting psychological thriller, while her hugely popular and brilliant podcast is based on her best-selling memoir, The Shift: How I Lost and Found Myself After 40 – and You Can Too.
The upcoming Bookface Book Swap Brunch will concentrate on The Shift, first published in 2020 for women over 40 on the menopause journey.
In the book, Sam re-addresses this much ignored demographic by drawing upon her own experiences in the post-fertility years. Frank and funny, featuring chapters on sex, culture, work and rage, the book speaks to women who are looking at their lives, recognising change and seeking to recalibrate. Hot flushes, sleep deprivation, weight gain, career crises (and the rest) coexist with serious life episodes like lust, love, and heartbreak.
“This will be a sell-out in record time,” says Heather Suttie, founder of Bookface Book Swap Brunch. “Sam’s a powerhouse in publishing, she’s edited some of my favourite magazines and her podcasts are an essential listen. I’m ecstatic she’s joining us.”
The event will open with leading journalist Katrina Tweedie’s question-and-answer session with Sam who says: “I’ve enjoyed being a member of Bookface and I’m looking forward to discussing why menopause is our superpower.”
The morning will see attendees enjoy a prosecco brunch, Lillet cocktail, the classic French aperitif, followed by a book swap where signed copies of Sam’s bestseller The Shift: How I Lost and Found Myself After 40 – and You Can Too will be available to buy.
