HOW NOT TO BE A SUPERMODEL | RUTH CRILLY

Pre-order here: geni.us/hownottobeasupermodel
Thank you so much for your support! I am so thrilled to be able to announce that my first book, How Not To Be A Supermodel, will be released on 29th August 2024. You can order your copy now! Non-UK orders, I'll update you with dates as soon as I have them.
I've written a comic memoir (as in funny, it's not a cartoon) documenting my decade-long career as a not-quite-supermodel and it has been hailed as "the only book you need to read this year"*.
You can find more info in my blog post here: www.ruthcrilly.co.uk/how-not-...
And I made a funny reel on Instagram, that's here: reelC6vt0A...
I'll be relentlessly talking about my book for the foreseeable future because this has been my life goal for so long and it's massively exciting for me. If you have any questions then let me know in the comments and I'll try to answer them in my next book video. I hugely appreciate your support.
Apparently pre-orders are everything so please do click and then your book will be delivered when it's released... geni.us/hownottobeasupermodel
*hailed by me, but if you can't be your own hype girl then what is this life?

[@RuthCrilly]

Of course!

[@suesmith4289]

Ruth, good luck to you, hope you and the family are well congrats.😁

[@victtayl]

CONGRATULATIONS! So pleased for you! Had a feeling there was a book coming soon. For some reason, I thought it was going to be a historical fiction novel a la Hilary Mantell. 90s model era is so intriguing. I remember watching you on This Model Life with Erin O'Connor and that time in pop culture generally being so model-obsessed. Very intersted to read the inside story!

[@teresapaskell5459]

Just pre-ordered👍

Congratulations! I cannot wait to order in the U.S.!

[@matthewbull1081]

[@mummycool1]

Congratulations Ruth ❤

[@sarahmclennan6098]

Congratulations! Super exciting, I love your writing and general chat :) I immediately clicked to pre order, but I am in New Zealand and the only way was through Waterstones, shipping was £12.50 so in total would be over $70. Had to pull pin on that... hopefully an international option soon x

[@flowerchild2657]

Congratulations 🎊 It's gonna be a blast reading it 😁 Love the title and the picture (not fond of the yellow lettering and the pink background though 😉) I think they both convey the atmosphere of the book you introduced us too. I love reading your blogs because they're as witty and fun as your videos ☺️ So obviously I pre-ordered your book 📖 👏🏻 It's gonna be a long wait though till August 😛!!

[@RuthCrilly]

That's not the cover, just a holding one for pre-orders xx

[@flowerchild2657]

​@@RuthCrilly Yes I know, I saw the video and agree that "cover" picture and the title are great! I hope the final cover will be as good 🤞🏻

[@ElseLR]

Pre ordered to Norway, and I can't wait to read it! 🥰

[@RuthCrilly]

[@minty484]

I have preordered the book and I'm tempted to buy the audio book as well because I love listening to you speak. I'm planning the chocolate but the final decision wil ha e to wait until the cover is revealed. I found your page through Nadine Baggot, thanks Nadine 😊 🎉
