Coming Out Party in Print –
January 24, 2020 – “Bryony has never been afraid to explore the darker aspects of her reality and this book takes the power of her writing to a new level,” said Emsley. “In turn, shocking, brutal, funny, hopeful and uplifting, Glorious Rock Bottom is a sobriety memoir like no other. We couldn’t be prouder to be publishing it this spring.”
Gordon, who has worked for the Telegraph for almost 20 years, is the author of The Wrong Knickers, Mad Girl and Eat, Drink, Run (Headline), and You Got This: A Fabulously Fearless Guide to Being YOU (Wren & Rook) which she wrote for teens. Through the TCM she has sold a total 209,900 books for £1.45m, with her bestseller Mad Girl at 90,086 copies sold in paperback.
Gordon said: “I am so grateful that Headline have once again allowed me to write something that others might have distanced themselves from. I am not proud of where my drinking took me, but I am proud of this book, and I hope it will help to take some of the shame and stigma away from alcoholism, in the same way that Mad Girl did for OCD. I hope that people – whether they are alcoholic or not -– will feel comforted by this book, and know that however dark things get, there is always a way out.”
