Kimberley Allsopp, author and publicist

I'm Steph from @Stephanieshouseofbooks and today I'm chatting to author, book publicist and mum of two, Kimberley Allsopp.

Find out how Kimberley finds the time to read, the hilarious reason she hasn't seen Baby Girl, and if being a book publicist is just like being on our favourite TV show Younger.

Plus, what did guests at a late night book dinner let on about Anne Tyler's new book?

Kimberley is the author of ⁠Love and Other Puzzles⁠ (Harper Collins, 2022) and the soon to be released⁠ Rise and Shine⁠ (Harper Collins, 2025).
