► 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 TH-camr/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 TH-cam channel for 8 years. P.s. you don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing.

It's been a tricky few years for setting goals and resolutions, but here's a little catch-up video that hopefully can also be a bit of inspiration for setting your own goals too. Would be curious to hear how you have had to adjust your goal-setting over the last few years (or recently)! - Sanne
This was a great catch up! I really love your water colours!
Really enjoyed this video! I remember how I thought it was so inspiring quite a few years ago when you talked about how resolutions could be about doing something rather than stopping or not doing something! 💙
There's so many negative connotations with 'resolutions' so it's nice to use them in a way that feels more positive for sure!
Such a lovely catch up! ♥️♥️
Hi, I'm new to your channel and I thought this was the best resolutions video I've seen. Very inspiring and I loved the range of different resolutions that you have, and the enthusiasm - I'm going to watch your bronte video now, can't wait!
i absolutely love your videos 💞
Thank you! ❤
This is a great video, Sanne. Got me inspired for some of my own creative projects! ❤
Ahh that's wonderful, thank you!
omg your makeup is perfect and adorable. can you do a makeup routine or tell me your blush, eyeshadow, lip combo?
Seconding the request for this! Couldn’t stop staring at her makeup. Perfect.
Hi Sanne, would you be able to recommend the place where you stayed in yorkshire? Sounds like a dream trip!
The village is called Haworth and there are quite a few lovely hotels and AirBnBs (wouldn't 100% recommend the one I went to, though it wasn't bad, so I won't mention the specific place).
@@booksandquills No worries, thanks so much for letting me know!
@@basiakom I have a full Yorkshire/Haworth travel guide up on my blog if you're interested btw! Forgot to mention that :)
@@booksandquills will definitely check it out!
Realistic reading goals? What are those? 😂
I love your videos so much! 🤎 Absolutely would love for you to make your top 10 books series, I always trust your recommendations :)
I always feel like I haven't read enough yet!!
