As a publisher, author and bookseller with a career spanning 40 years, Sarah Anderson has given numerous talks worldwide on topics such as travel, books, bookselling, publishing and self-publishing.
She also draws on her deeply personal experience of losing one arm to cancer at the age of ten to give inspiring motivational talks in a range of contexts.
Unsentimental, lucid, poised and always rigorous in her scholarship, Sarah Anderson is the perfect literary navigator to guide curious travellers to new discoveries. Whether talking about her own life as an independent traveller (including a close encounter with a bear at Lake Baikal), or sharing personal experiences as a bookseller and author, Sarah is always crisp, entertaining, a catalyst for fresh curiosity to stimulate the jaded palate of those suffering from ‘I’ve been everywhere’ fatigue. – Caroline Baum, Journalist and Broadcaster
