If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Who remembers this skipping rhyme?
Raspberry, strawberry, gooseberry jam,
Tell me the name of your young man.
A, B, C, D….
Do you love him or not?
Yes, no, yes, no…
How many kisses did you give him?
5, 10, 15, 20…
What colour dress were you wearing?
Red, white, black…

I wrote a blog (it kind of turned into a massive essay) inspired by your series on Empire. I’d be honoured if you could read it. I mean, it’s not perfect but I had a go.

What does Europe mean to you?
My Grandad - a working class Scot who lived through WWII - loved and believed in Europe. It should be his legacy.

To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.
