The Kickstarter for the new UK edition of Tillie Walden’s Spinning has just gone live, and we’re thrilled to share this deeply personal and beautifully illustrated memoir with you! This incredible hardback edition brings together Tillie’s Eisner Award-winning graphic novel in a stunning new format with an all-new cover design.
There are also some great bonus items to accompany the book, so read on…
A competitive figure skater for twelve years, every day was the same for Tillie Walden. Sports, school, and family, with no chance for her to stop and think. But when Tillie met her first girlfriend, it changed her whole life. She broke out of the reinforced sameness of a routine into a new relationship and a new interest in making art. She began to be sure her life should be different.
A poignant, honest autobiographical graphic novel about realising you can reinvent your life.
Specifications: 400 pages, hardback with a brand new cover design, 153 x 216mm
