Self identity with the subject of one’s biography is, as Richard Holmes. Famously wrote, the first crime of the biographer. That's okay then.No one is ever going to confuse me with Wallis Simpson. And yet, working with a new website designer is forcing me to think closely - Who am I? How do I want people who do not know me to think of me…? Did the glamour, sparkling jewels and elegant clothes act as a barrier to trust? Posted by Anne Sebba. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Spesifikas...

Anne Sebba blog: Meeting Elizabeth Taylor - twice
http://annesebba.blogspot.com/2011/03/meeting-elizabeth-taylor-twice.html
Meeting Elizabeth Taylor - twice. S o Elizabeth Taylor. Has finally gone. I met her only twice but both occasions were unforgettable. In 1972, I was a junior reporter for Reuters. In Rome and the bureau sent me to doorstep the restaurant where she was having dinner to ask for news of the latest apparently violent split from Richard Burton. Would they make it up? Ten years later, writing the biography of Enid Bagnold. Posted by Anne Sebba. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Anne Sebba is a biographer, le...

Take a look at our social media training workshops and events. From the mouths of clients. What they say About us. Sometimes the words of those who have worked with us is enough. It can be hard to judge just by looking at a website and portfolio, so hearing what others say and how they’ve enjoyed their experiences explains it better than we ever could! I’m not there yet but Keren, Tina and team are terrific at training me to blog and tweet and generally keep my website fresh and alive. I first worked wit...

Anne Sebba blog: Charity Begins at Home
http://annesebba.blogspot.com/2010/12/once-year-i-host-literary-lunch-for.html
Charity Begins at Home. The speaker was the novelist, short story writer and creative writing teacher, Wendy Perriam,. Who talked bravely and courageously about her life as well as writing. She, a lapsed Catholic, said the reason so many writers are either Jewish or Catholic is because both are such dramatic religions. Her latest novel is called Broken Places. About her son, who has cerebral palsy, came out last year was one example. So now as I am folding away the ancient trestle table and returning the...

Anne Sebba blog: Don't blame the women
http://annesebba.blogspot.com/2011/02/dont-blame-women.html
Don't blame the women. Whatever I mumbled, and I have no doubt it was both fatuous and naïve, clearly didn’t matter since I got the job as a graduate trainee at Reuters - the first woman on whom they chanced their arm, or more appropriately perhaps, leg. Although I didn’t speak Italian I was quietly despatched to Rome because it was thought women might have ways of getting a story, Italian style. And as one example among many don’t forget Yvonne Ridley kidnapped by the Taleban in 2001 and pilloried...

On this day 90 years ago. Ninety years ago today Jennie Churchill,. Although married to Montague Porch, a Nigerian civil servant, she was still known as Lady Randolph Churchill and buried, as she had requested, at Bladon churchyard just outside Blenheim Palace. Because she wanted in death to lie next to her errant first husband, Lord Randolph Churchill. Posted by Anne Sebba. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Adding some sparkle to your life. Twenty three years after the historic sale of almost all the Duchess of Windsor’s jewels, 20 pieces from that sale will be re-auctioned on Tuesday 30th November. Posted by Anne Sebba. Leaving the World a Better Place. He has been neglected by medical historians and is hardly known today.

Not so ancient history on Crete. Seventy years ago next month, one of the bloodiest battles of World War Two. The Jewish presence on Crete, dating back to the 4th century BC not long after the conquest by Alexander the Great, was wiped out in one day. The ancient synagogue of Etz Hayyim. Later this month there will be commemorations of the Battle of Crete. In various parts of the island perhaps the last time that anyone who was alive at the time will attend. Posted by Anne Sebba.
