Something exciting happening today: I got my first real bookstore-ready copy of NIGHTFARING, my forthcoming memoir of my travels around the world to experience darkness. Out 29 Jan 2026, PRE-ORDER now: linktr.ee/megoizzy
So exciting to receive my author copy of the DK Beijing & Shanghai guidebook. It's exciting to see this in print, because I freelance edited the update in 2019 which got quietly shelved due to the pandemic. So it's extra special to finally hold this book. The full China guide is coming in April!

I have a magazine to put to bed, commercial client content deadlines, book tour logistics overdue and travel plans that need booking but when a newspaper editor drops an astrotourism commission into my inbox and needs it by Friday, I will always find a way. 🔭🌅🇪🇸

For the second day this week, I left the house and walked halfway to the overground before realising I forgot my glasses. Apparently, my head is kind of in a swirl this year.

The cognitive dissonance of having to choose whether to attend this vigil for Nicole Good at the US Embassy or a Visit USA travel media/PR networking event at the exact same time on Monday night is actually making me short circuit.
