In Haste is a place for people who love to read, write and think about books. Here you’ll find enticing book recommendations, sparks of inspiration, new writing friends, and maybe even the start of your own next story. In Haste is about being a reader and a writer in the middle of real life.
We offer candid, funny and often illuminating forays into books from every angle, gently steered by us, Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie. You can expect behind-the-scenes insight into the writing and publishing process behind astonishing new novels, short stories, non-fiction and memoir through conversations with bestselling and award-winning guest authors.
In Haste is a celebration of writing heart-stopping thoughts in the Notes app on your phone while you wait for a bus; reading a battered paperback while the kettle boils; making bookmarks out of coffee receipts; writing one more line before the baby wakes up; reading one more chapter before you fall asleep.
Why ‘In Haste’?
Because we know that you don’t have endless time, money and inspiration to write, or the time to read thousands of novels a year. Instead, we think you don’t need more time to be a reader, or to be a writer. Literature comes from life, and so you just need something to learn, and something to say — even if you have to get started in snatched moments around the edges of life.
Who are Charlotte and Alice?
We’re authors, journalists and old friends. Between us, we’ve published five books (with three more on the way) in multiple languages around the world. But before we were ever writers, we were readers, and we’ve always wanted to know more about how the books we love take shape and make it out into the world. That love of reading, above everything else, is the spirit of In Haste.
