I wrote the perfect book for anyone who wants to work in the arts 🚀📚 (Working in Art coming April 2026!)

My forthcoming book Working in Art has officially beeen announced as available for pre-order, with publication coming in April 2026.

So, on this week’s episode of All About Art, I walk you through what went into creating this book - the travel to 9 cities across 5 countries, the interviews with arts professionals I deeply admire, and the honest moments of self-doubt along the way. I explain why I felt this book needed to exist: the arts and cultural sector contributes £19.1 billion to the UK economy annually, yet fewer than 8 state schools offer History of Art at A-level. How are young people supposed to know what career paths are available if we don’t show them?

This episode is more personal than usual. I talk about the process of organizing interviews, editing down lengthy transcripts, and working through the fear of whether my own writing was good enough. I also share who this book is for - whether you’re considering entering the arts sector, already working in it, or simply curious about the range of careers that exist beyond artist or gallerist.
