It feels very meaningful to be read by a brilliant reader and thinker like @titachico.bsky.social Feeling a bit speechless (if you know me irl, this will come as a surprise) by this amazing review 🙏 📚
Calling A-level English teachers! Do you teach Austen, Brontë, or other 18thc stuff? Could you use a set of free research-informed teaching materials, which support students' historical, literary, & linguistic understanding, & foster debate about misogyny, consent, & healthy relationships? (1/?)

I am totally bowled over by this review of my book. The book came out nearly four years ago now, but this was totally worth the wait. Truly humbled and pleased the book speaks to people and that the magazine it's about is being enjoyed by so many readers today. www.romtext.org.uk/reviews/rt25...
