Hi, I'm Sanne!

Ten years ago I moved from the Netherlands to London in search of a new adventure, but also to pursue a career in publishing. After working in the publishing industry for 7 years, I became a freelance digital producer and social media consultant in the arts. I spend most of my free time reading, creating literary content and trying to find the best historical sights, museums and nature spots.

From bookshops to veggie food, bakeries and the loveliest walks for a Sunday afternoon, come explore more of London and the rest of the UK with me. If you don’t have a car, you’re in the right place, as I do almost all of my UK travel via bus and train.

I have a YouTube channel called Booksandquills, where I've been posting book-themed videos for over a decade, with over 15 million views. You'll find me talking about anything from literature and films to productivity, literary travel, and career advice and my favourite new crafts. You can also find me on Instagram @booksandquills and TikTok @booksandquills and I’m the host of Sci-fi Podcast The End of the World Book Club.

I love bringing like-minded people together and help them feel confident about their creativity, so you’ll often find me hosting local sketch meetups, running book clubs, interviewing authors or organising creative workshops!

If you’re a business or author interested in working together have a look at my brand collaboration page here or check out my freelance services! All business emails can go to sannevliegenthart [at] gmail [dot] com.
