If you would like Katie to speak about The Language of Trees with your book club, local indie bookstore, arboretum, library or museum, please get in touch.
The Language of Trees debuted on the National Indie Bestseller list in the USA and in the Irish Times Bestseller list.
Katie Holten’s UK book tour for The Language of Trees is supported by Culture Ireland.
Culture Ireland did not support Katie Holten’s US book tour. They were acknowledged and their logo appeared on every event during the US book tour as Culture Ireland awarded a grant but after the events took place Culture Ireland revoked the funding. The artist is considering what to do about this unfortunate situation.
