Katie Kennedy’s THE HISTORY GOSSIP to be published by Michael O’Mara

Content creator and TBP client, Katie Kennedy, is writing a book! The History Gossip: Was Anne of Cleves a Minger? and 365 Other Historical Curiosities will be published in hardback on 7th November. 

The book combines Katie’s “infectious humour” and “sharp historical insight” in a collection that offers “a witty and irreverent take on history”. The short entries are characterised by the author’s “trademark blend of pop culture references and contemporary slang”. 

Since launching her TikTok channel in January 2024, Katie has amassed more than 500,000 followers. She commented: “I really hope The History Gossip scratches that history itch that readers didn’t even know they had. Inspired by the digestible lessons on my TikTok, across 365 days I slate (and sometimes praise) everyone from the past, from Henry VIII tearing apart the Church to marry the ‘woman of his dreams’, to Victorians going on drunken benders in the British Museum and smashing up artefacts. There’s a whole range of history in there.”
