It may be November already, but the new sequel is all about the sloth, and we're slothing all the way to Spring.
In the words of Gran, 'Slow doesn’t mean W, E, A, K, or L, A, Z, Y — it’s a survival strategy'

Just a sample of the beautiful feedback we receive from neurodivergent writers and our ND volunteers:

‘Thank you for making a company that understands the way my brain operates!‘

‘Thank you so much for your support …it made me quite emotional because I have almost given up on the book several times because of the discomfort that goes along with being seen by others, but your words have encouraged me a lot and it is a relief to be understood.’

‘Your response was so lovely to receive. It brought tears to my eyes and has a given me a new confidence to continue with my writing.’

‘You took the time to actually look at my work and provide decent feedback. Most publishers just say it's not a good fit.’

‘Thank you so much for sending me this! It made my day. I'm so glad I could help her so much.’
