Introducing my new book... and tour! 🎉

Dear Reader,

After grafting away for the last few months, slaving over a hot keyboard, I am pleased to announce that my new book ‘Just Good Manners’ will be released on the 12th September!

It’s my definitive guide to modern etiquette… the British way! I advise you on what rules we can keep, which we can ditch, and where we need to break new ground.

And… I’m on tour! 🎭

In addition to the new book, I’m debuting my new solo tour, ‘Solitary Refinement’, (5th-7th September), visiting the three cities I’ve lived in: Bristol, Manchester, and London.

Early access 🎟️

To celebrate these two seminal and luxury moments, I’m giving you exclusive early access to tour tickets upon pre-ordering my new book through Waterstones.

You can get early access to ‘Solitary Refinement’ tour tickets by pre-ordering ‘Just Good Manners’ from Waterstones before 8pm UK time on Tuesday 26th March.

To receive the access code and tour pre-sale link, please make sure you OPT IN to the marketing from Waterstones. They'll email you pre-sale details on Wednesday, March 27th, 10am UK time.

For more information and links, please head to my website for all the book and tour details.

With only good wishes and many thanks,

William Hanson

Book and Tour FAQs

Call me psychic, but I think I can pre-empt some of your questions.

Q: Will there be signed copies of your new book available?

Yes! A limited number will be available from WH Smith. You can pre-order these now.

Q: Will there be an audiobook, and will you be reading it?

There will be and I shall be very annoyed if anyone else dares read it.

Q: What is the solo show about? 

The show will be a mixture of stories from my life teaching etiquette I can’t usually broadcast, my reflections on manners today, as well as a high-octane interactive element with members of the audience. Expect laughs, expect introspection, expect napkins.

Q: Will you be doing a meet and greet for the tour?

Yes! There are a handful of exclusive meet and greet tickets available for each night.

Q: Do I have to buy the book to buy tickets for the tour?

No, you can buy just the tour tickets, but only when the general sale goes live on Thursday 28th March at 10am UK time. I wouldn’t want you to miss out, however!
