‘A reverie – part pilgrimage, part personal reflection – on the places where writers find the right words. Katie da Cunha Lewin takes us on an intriguing journey through time and technology to reveal the public and private worlds of writers, past and present.’ – Clare Hunter, author of Threads of Life 

‘Hand in hand with the question 'what do writers do all day?' is '...and where do they do it?'. Katie da Cunha Lewin's book is an intimate delight and radical demystifier, making the conditions, rituals, and set-ups required for writing to happen individual, multiple, and political.' – Jen Calleja, author of Fair: The Life-Art of Translation
