Inspired by Elizabeth Day’s hugely popular podcast of the same name, How To Fail is part memoir, part manifesto. It is a book for anyone who has ever failed i.e. EVERYONE. Join the award-winning author and a special guest (to be announced) for a brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of the things that haven’t gone quite right. An uplifting and reassuring evening about learning from our mistakes and not being afraid, How to Fail reminds us that failure means learning how to succeed better.

Elizabeth Day is an award-winning author and broadcaster and founder of Daylight Productions. Her chart-topping podcast, How To Fail With Elizabeth Day, is a celebration of all of the things that haven’t gone right. Every week, in a one-on-one interview, a celebrity guest discusses what they have learned from failure. To date, Elizabeth has written five novels and three works of non-fiction. Her fifth novel, Magpie, became an instant Sunday Times bestseller and her most recent work of non-fiction, Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict, entered the Sunday Times bestseller charts at number one. She won a British Press Award in 2004 for Young Journalist of the Year and was Highly Commended as Feature Writer of the Year in 2013. She has written for numerous publications since then, including the Times, Guardian, New York Magazine, the Observer, Vogue, Grazia, Elle and Vanity Fair.
