I had the pleasure of asking Nicola some questions so you can get to know her better.
What do you love most about writing?
’ve always cherished the art of writing – it’s a delicate blend of discipline and creativity, offering the freedom to weave your unique perspective into the world’s ever-evolving tapestry of ideas. SWIPE is a book I felt compelled to write precisely because it fills a gap: there’s nothing quite like it on the market, and its voice feels both timely and necessary. Having recently watched Netflix’s Bad Influence: Dark Side of Kidfluencing, I’m even more convinced this book contributes positively to urgent conversations about digital wellbeing.
What do you think readers will love about your books?
Early reviews already highlight what readers adore. One called it “Genius! A must-have toolkit for navigating today’s online world”, and they’re right – SWIPE isn’t just about handling trolls. It’s a comprehensive guide to mastering challenging interactions, whether you’re facing social media vitriol or real-world confrontations. The book equips you with strategies to stay calm, confident, and in control, no matter the context.
How does this book stand out in the industry?
What makes SWIPE stand out? Its accessibility. The interactive format – packed with relatable case studies and reflective exercises – invites you to apply lessons directly to your life. My personal favourite section? The glossary, which decodes troll archetypes so you can identify them (and disarm them) with ease.
Packed with clear, actionable advice, SWIPE has become an essential companion for anyone determined to protect their peace online without compromising their authenticity. If you’re serious about safeguarding your mental wellbeing while showing up unapologetically as yourself, this book is for you. Practical, insightful, and deeply empowering. Ready to reclaim your digital space? The eBook is available now, and the paperback launches on 12th May 2025. Purchase your copy at: https://www.marketingwithlovedigital.co.uk/swipeREVIEWS
