Dan Richards' first book, Holloway, co-authored with Robert Macfarlane & illustrated by Stanley Donwood, was published by Faber in 2013. The Beechwood Airship Interviews (HarperCollins, 2015) explored the creative process, head-spaces and workplaces of some of Britain’s most celebrated artists, craftsman and technicians including Bill Drummond, Dame Judi Dench, Jenny Saville, Manic Street Preachers, Jane Bown & Stewart Lee. Climbing Days (Faber 2016) saw Dan set out on the trail of his pioneering great-great-aunt and uncle, Dorothy Pilley & I.A. Richards. Following in the pair's foot and hand-holds, he travelled across Europe, using Dorothy’s 1935 mountaineering memoir as a guide. Ending up atop the mighty Dent Blanche in the high Alps of Valais. Outpost: A Journey to the Wild Ends of the Earth (Canongate, 2019) is an exploration of the appeal and pull of far-flung shelters in mountains, tundra, forests, oceans and deserts; landscapes and which have long inspired adventurers, pilgrims, writers, and artists. Overnight: Journeys, Conversations and Stories After Dark, a book celebrating the dark hours and exploring the nocturnal operations which sustain, repair and protect the world whilst most of us are asleep, is set to be published by Canongate in March 2025. Only After Dark, a BBC Radio 4 series with a similar focus to Overnight, was broadcast to acclaim in December 2022. Dan has written about travel, landscape, and art for various newspapers and magazines including The Guardian, Economist, Esquire, and Monocle.
