August Books lands 'awe-inspiring' travelogue from YouTube 'star' Noraly Schoenmaker

Schoenmaker has more than two million subscribers to her YouTube channel, "Itchy Boots", where she documents her journeys as a motorcycling obsessive. In Free Ride, Schoenmaker recounts her first long-distance ride following heartbreak. 

Lye said: "August Books is a proud home of action and adventure books, both in fiction and non-fiction. I am delighted to be publishing Noraly’s awe-inspiring account of the motorcycle journey that changed her life. I know fans of ‘Long Way Round’ will absolutely devour this, as will anyone bitten by the wanderlust bug!" 

Schoenmaker added: “I am thrilled to have August Books on board for this new adventure. From the moment I announced my book, fans from all over the world have been asking me for the English publication date. To be able to share that now, and with this team, I couldn’t have wished for more.”
