In this lecture I reflect back on my experience of writing The Feminist Killjoy Handbook (Seal Press, 2023). I explain why I gave feminist killjoys a book of their own, well over ten years after giving them a chapter in The Promise of Happiness. I explore how feminist killjoys turned up in my own work and what I have learnt from killjoy encounters, at home and at work. I will also clarify what I mean by “killing joy as a world making project,” which is the tagline for my feminist killjoy blog.
