New Book alert! "The Roots of Paranormal" is stylish and punchy! Here's the back of the book:

Six friends explore a place
where most fear,
after the discovery of a legend,
and to uncover its secrets.

Hundreds of experiments
One sudden death
And a desperate lust for revenge.

Available on Amazon now!

We got a nice bit of press for one of our prison books at https://1919magazine.co.uk/april2024/?i=14 this week.

The book they describe involved eight men who, despite their circumstances, collaborated on a novel aimed (and starring!) at their children. The process not only enhanced their literacy and self-concept but also significantly improved their family relationships. Over a week, these men took on the challenge of writing a complete book, which culminated in a heartwarming book signing event attended by their families.

The prisoners' story, set in the magical world of Mysticus, is not just a tale of adventure but a reflection of their personal growth and renewed connections with their loved ones. One child inspired by the project even dressed as her character from the book for World Book Day!

Released on Friday: Elile!

Elile is a complex tale of home. An alien is stranded on Earth for millions of years and yearns to return. But is her planet what she remembered it to be? Where is home now?

We're very excited. We are particular excited to talk to schools in the Luton/Bedfordshire area.

'False Memorabilia' is our latest White Water Writers book - set in a post-war dystopia, where a group of young people try to bring justice to a corrupt government. It's a thrilling read!

What is real and what is not? A post-war dystopia changes life as we know it, as a group of young people seek to expose the government, and to stop the break-out of another war. Will they make it in time?

So proud of our fantastic Year 9 novelists who have been working hard to write a book in a week with White Water Writers. Today they visited Keele University which provided some all-important academic inspiration!

We have no idea why some of our books are super cheap on Amazon at the moment. Clearly their algorithm is doing a thing.

Feel free to look to see if your books have been discounted (and drop a review or two while you are there!)

Our work with prisons is in The Conversation

A project involving prisoners coming together to write a book for their children in less than a week has had encouraging results.

Always nice to see our work in the local paper :)

RUDHEATH Senior Academy pupils managed to write a gripping 22,000-word novel in less than a week – and it’s now on sale.

Periodic reminder for academics. Not only are we the only place to come to for group novel writing - we've also got a dataset of every keystoke made in the process. So if you want to know more about how young people structure narratives, how they approach prose, (and which errors they find in proofreading and which ones they miss) then you should drop us a line.
