I’m excited to read this 😁 very interested too in how long it takes to produce something like this on such a complex topic (as a proto NF writer myself) and how you get a publisher on side for such a wide ranging subject?

I have just ordered matching umbrellas from Ince umbrellas for our 30th wedding anniversary with Pearl button details. Every 10 years we try to order something from heritage craftsmen and this year we’ve gone for umbrellas. They must never be left anywhere 😱

My first two books were set in flats - one in a modern block and the other in a terrace divided into flats 😁

I had the same when I was teaching audiology. It’s essentially a practical vocational qualification. The students were cross I wouldn’t tell them what was going to be in the tests. I tried to explain that I was teaching them stuff so they could do the job, not just pass a test 🤷🏻♀️

Communicate with creators. I have worked with some amazing editors who are SO good at keeping me in the loop and been ghosted by others. Good communication makes ALL the difference. That includes bad news.

Bit late to the party here but not putting upper ages on recommended reading ages would be a good start

Not just dyslexic 😀 for our daughter it maintained a love of story when her narrative sense was way ahead of her actual reading ability. Biff and Chip just didn’t cut it, plot-wise 😆 That could have turned her off reading but instead she maintained her love of story until the reading caught up 👍
