She's cashing in on the zeitgeist from 'The Crown' too I think. The Queen is cool now. (Not to be too pretensious but maybe theres also something to her representing consistency in unpredictable times ...?)
Add to that an Instagram friendly grid-like layout, place that book next to the tills and it's going to sell.
For sure this thread has opened my eyes to how awful and ridiculous sali is in so.many ways but I can't fault her for cashing in on a moment. I got the book free through work and it's nice enough to leaf through.
In this interview it says that Sali was writing her first novel and gives its name. This was in 2012. https://www.redonline.co.uk/red-women/red-chat/a509566/sali-hughes-live-red-chat/
If you look her up on Amazon there's an untitled book due for release in 2020. Could be the novel.
Or a placeholder for an updated version of the Queen book after she's died.
Possibly the paperback version.
God, a novel by her would be hard work, her writing style is excruciating.

I have a feeling she'll be releasing a veggie cookbook...
Mm yes good call - she is a vegetarian (doesn't like to mention it though
).See the comments on her article are being pre moderated again.
Ooh is she a veggie who adopted a rescue dog and she then married a man who voted Tory ?
She’s never said
.
I do like her perfume videos , must admit that.

Deb99 You forgot to mention that she was a teenage runaway (although she never mentions it)

, who knew?
Does anyone remember the article she wrote in Red saying how much she preferred her life pre-kids (it was years ago and before she was well known so had probably been buried)?
Yes , the single mum chapter is coming back to me .
It is an odd thing for her to say but I sort of would like her more if she said more things like that. Shows a more human side and possibly a sense of humour now long gone. Like when she slut shamed Rhianna for what she wore at the Brits years ago. I didn't like what she said but at least it wasn't the painfully woke perfect family image she now projects. Someone dug up those Rhianna tweets a while ago and she went mad.
True.
She is such a sour-faced harridan now, literally 0% sense of humour.
Where can I see this??
Yes, always problems. It's a given. Nothing to do with you, Sali.

I thought that authors always read the final proof before it was published. Her husband is a writer too.
Agreed! I remember her replying to someone on Instagram along the lines of watch this space in regards to recipes being part of her next book. So I was surprised when she released this one about the Queen. It could be like others have said and she saw an opportunity to cash in on the monarchy so ended up working on this book first.
For Sali Hughes to call herself an author, I'm utterly PERPLEXED by her exclusion of Lisa Eldridge from her book?
[I'm so glad I only purchased them through iBooks and didn't waste money on hardcopies...they were kinda dull and too self-obsessive?]
I know it's not academic writing, but it's still published, so she owes the public correct information. In her section of recommending experts etc., to exclude Lisa Eldridge's YouTube account is equivalent to excluding Plato from an introductory philosophy book or exclude Mendel from introducing the basics of genetics. What Lisa Eldridge did by uploading professional makeup videos, with information that people pay for, was truly RADICAL. She didn't stop her hectic professional life and continued to give updated, industry information/skills for FREE. She also simplified some of her own skills and adapted them so everyday women could learn and incorporate timesaving, yet effective, makeup skills into their lives. When YouTube was inundated with self-taught beauty gurus, bloggers, makeup artists , Lisa's channel was unique and iconic. For all Sali Hughes's talk of democratising beauty etc, no one started it and did it better than Lisa Eldridge and she hasn't made a huge fuss about it because she is properly professional. She's not perfect--I'm always dubious whenever anyone sells their products etc, but she has maintained her integrity when so many only pretend to.
