Who is Andy Glaze?

Andy Glaze arrives in this catalogue as the author of Smile, or You’re Doing it Wrong, and honesty serves better than embellishment here: he is not a writer who comes with a long public biography attached, and inventing one would do him no favours. Some authors are best met through their work, and Glaze is one of them – which, in an age of relentless author branding, makes a pleasant change.

The title is its own introduction. There is a whole outlook compressed into those six words – defiant good humour, the insistence that attitude is a choice – and books built on that kind of conviction tend to come from lived experience rather than theory.

Andy Glaze in audiobooks

In audio, a book called Smile, or You’re Doing it Wrong promises exactly the sort of company many listeners are after: bracing, upbeat and unwilling to let anyone wallow. Titles that lead with attitude usually deliver voice above all, and voice is the one quality audio rewards more generously than print ever can.

For UK listeners it sits naturally alongside the motivational and memoir shelves – a listen to reach for when the weather, the news or the to-do list needs answering back. Short of hearing it first-hand, the title is the truest advertisement anyone could write.
