About

Hello! I hope you're having a wonderful day so far! My name is Ruby and I started off on YouTube sharing study tips, motivation and advice. I recently finished my Masters at Oxford University, and am now working on what I hope will be my debut novel. I share bookish videos and try to encourage learning outside of a formal educational setting. I'm a huge proponent of self-guided learning, and don't believe this stops when you leave school. If you're interested in checking out my other social media, I am also active on Instagram (@_rubygranger) where I share more of my day-to-day life. If you do decide to subscribe, I hope that you enjoy watching my videos and find them helpful. Make sure to let me know if you have any particular video requests :)

My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now! 🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: https://bit.ly/3wgsR85 🍵 What's your favourite tea?
