Welcome to Chatterbox. We have a passion for creating great digital content.
Shout out to the lovely who’s been doing some work experience with us this week! It’s been such a pleasure and a joy having her in. (Not JUST because she makes excellent brownies and is clearly a very talented artist…) Thank you for your invaluable help, Lulu!
Happy Summer Solstice! It seems like an apt time to celebrate some of the wonderful nature titles we’ve had the pleasure of recording so far this year. All come highly recommended. Also featured: a Wiltshire sunrise. (Our Chippenham Studios are relatively close to Stonehenge 👀)

What a way to introduce our new in house producer Lydia Thomson!
Running 100 miles, coming 3rd out of the female runners and all done in slightly over 23 hrs 🤯
We knew she could do it 💪🏅
Is this the start of the Chatterbox running club? 🤔
So wonderful to see two titles we produced receiving Earphones Awards from 🥳
Two wonderful readers, narrating equally wonderful books.
Thank you to the whole team who worked on these titles 🥂
An absolute pleasure to have and Reuben recording with us this week! They both did an amazing job 👏
From their producer ;
In my job I sometimes get the opportunity to work with some truly amazing people, and this week has been one of those.
Producing Brother. Do. You. Love. Me with and Reuben has been an absolute honour and also an emotional rollercoaster!
Their story is one that is often so easy to hide and ignore, but with this book Manni has given a voice to others in similar situations and, of course, to his brother.
Reuben is the most wonderful man, and it was an absolute pleasure to spend the day working and chatting with him.
This will definitely be one of those books and experiences that stays with me forever.
Brother. Do. You. Love. Me is currently out in hardback and the paperback (along with the audiobook) is coming soon.
***
Reuben, aged 38, was living in a home for adults with learning disabilities. He hadn't established an independent life in the care system and was still struggling to accept that he had Down's syndrome. Depressed and in a fog of anti-depressants, he hadn't spoken for over a year. The only way he expressed himself was by writing poems or drawing felt-tip scenes from his favourite West End musicals and Hollywood films. Increasingly isolated, cut off from everyone and everything he loved, Reuben sent a text message: 'brother. do. you. love. me.' When Manni received this desperate message from his youngest brother, he knew everything had to change. He immediately left his life in Spain and returned to England, moving Reuben out of the care home and into an old farm cottage in the countryside. In the stillness of winter, they began an extraordinary journey of repair, rediscovering the depths of their brotherhood, one gradual step at a time. Combining Manni's tender words with Reuben's powerful illustrations, their story of hope and resilience questions how we care for those we love, and demands that, through troubled times, we learn how to take better care of each other.

Happy International Women’s day!

“Flock together is a birdwatching collective for people of colour.

Together we are reclaiming green spaces and rebuilding our relationship with nature - one walk at a time”

Available to download on the 2nd of June 🏃♀️🎧
“What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health, and on our performance in our chosen sport, whether we’re elite-level athletes or enthusiastic amateurs. But, with so much information out there, how do we choose a way of eating that is right for us?
Whether you’re a world-class or real-world athlete, if you’re serious about sport and nutrition, you can’t afford not to read this book.”
