Samantha Wills (Australia)
Samantha Wills is a bestselling author and speaker. Her forthcoming book, Dopamining, will be published by Allen & Unwin (ANZ) in 2027, with Spanish language rights acquired by Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Mexico. Samantha Wills bestselling memoir, Of Gold & Dust (Allen & Unwin, 2021), chronicled the rise and closure of one of Australia’s most recognised jewellery brands that she launched from a kitchen table at just twenty-one. Her designs were worn by Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Rihanna, featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, and appeared on Sex and the City. The New York Times named her a breakout star. Dopamining is part cultural diagnosis, part personal reckoning, exploring distraction, self-sabotage, overstimulation and the modern addiction to immediate gratification. Written for anyone who has ever felt the gap between the life they are living and the one they keep meaning to start, it asks what constant stimulation is costing us creatively, emotionally and psychologically.
