Hello and welcome to my newsletter about the things that keep me going, from self-care to spending time alone and also with the people that matter!

I’m Nataliya Deleva, I’m a writer and a marketing leader working with charities and social purpose organisations. You might have read my novel FOUR MINUTES which the International Booker Prize winner Georgi Gospodinov described as “a novel about people on the margins of society, that grabs you by the throat”. Or you might have come across my second novel ARRIVAL which Lucia Osborne-Crowley endorsed as “a beautiful and moving story about trauma, memory, recovery, displacement and what it means to find a sense of home.”

I’m also navigating life with sight loss, and I’ll be sharing my experience as I figure things out.

If you have read my novels, I’d love to know what you think about them. If you’re passionate about making art, culture, workplaces or any other spaces inclusive and accessible, let’s connect.

I love writing in cosy cafes and beautiful places in nature; this is my safe place.
