It’s also available in audiobook, narrated by yours truly, and Kindle editions. In late 2021, it was listed by the Times as one of their top 7 self-help books of the year. It has been published internationally and translated into several different languages – I’m told the Korean edition, particularly, is a cracking read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/4cc4aedc-fd19-42fb-98d1-8ebeda5a57cf/Unattached+book+cover.png Books - I was a contributor to Unattached: Empowering Essays on Singlehood, a Penguin anthology exploring what single womanhood in the modern age means, edited by Angelica Malin. My essay, ‘For Every Single Woman Who’s Ever Been Told She’s The Problem – It’s Not You’, was identified as one of the ‘most powerful’ contributions, by reviewer Pandora Sykes in The Guardian. https://www.francescaspecter.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/905ab91f-d569-40a8-9260-6e0aed57050a/FrancescaSpecter-126.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/b375da72-4691-455b-a29e-c8298abdd87b/FrancescaSpecter-474-crop.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/1613918810429-YW6X6W3416FNI4W3R8EY/61A8McOGB8L.jpg Home - BOOK Alonement: How to be alone and absolutely own it 4 March 2021 Do you struggle to enjoy alone time? Or do you love taking yourself off for alone time, but struggle to justify it to your partner or family? Does your fear of time alone drive you to unhealthy levels of busy-ness? Or are you desperate to find just five minutes for yourself? Is the idea of ‘needing space’ from someone a foreign concept? Or else, do you struggle to maintain your independence in your relationships? Do you want to celebrate and benefit from your alone time – however much, or little, of it you get? This is the book for you. Alonement is an uplifting and celebratory guide to embracing being alone, whatever your age, life stage or relationship status. Part practical guide, part memoir and part cultural commentary, it’s been described by journalist Daisy Buchanan as a ‘joyous invitation to make your own declaration of independence’. https://www.francescaspecter.co.uk/journalism-portfolio daily 0.75 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/5f1c28ee-162d-4f56-8d5a-026a0a320295/The-New-York-Times-Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/1fe42d90-6581-4d24-9aee-c132b8b13ef2/2560px-Logo_Stylist.svg.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/8172eb5b-07eb-4a59-a80d-eca3811c7c4a/glamour_wordmark_logo_icon_170090.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/e90874c1-0b68-4fad-a862-44f1cabb5140/Financial_Times_corporate_logo_%28no_background%29.svg.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/8f6a7007-e37c-4e37-bdc6-755ab8879728/The_Guardian_2018.svg-1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/96405827-a048-4614-9ffd-bceaffbc14a7/The-Independent-Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/4a217ea0-cb71-43e3-aab2-991f6cb20ff1/the+times+logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/4ace90d8-d134-446c-bc12-694533fc9a3b/215-2159893_grazialogo-png-grazia.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/1abff32a-b017-43a8-8e5b-eb1abadd90f9/https___substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com_public_images_110b4967-fecf-4ea7-9f4c-c31e8ea0ddf2_292x56.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6024fb95c5a3e272893f0cd5/67958389-a5ef-40b1-8003-a6f807b5ebee/2560px-The_Telegraph_logo.svg.png
