Libby Page

The Sunday Salon with Alice-Azania Jarvis

On the outside, Libby Page's life looks pretty perfect. Just 27, she has already written two hit novels - the Sunday Times bestseller The Lido and now, The 24 Hour Cafe. She has worked in both fashion journalism and in marketing, and briefly lived in Paris after quitting her job and renting an Air BnB for six weeks which sounds pretty dreamy. But as she reveals here, she has also battled anxiety and panic attacks - and had to fight to get her first book published, approaching endless agents and being rejected time and again. I'm so grateful to her for opening up about all of this - and I love the fact that, as a child, she was so book-obsessed that she used to go to writing camps! What a joyous chat - thank you Libby.
