Unschooling Book Two Is Done Too!
Would you like to hear my latest unschooling book news? As you might know, I finished writing Curious Unschoolers a few weeks ago. Now I’ve finished my second book, Radical Unschool Love! I don’t know if that’s good news for my daughter, Imogen, because I’m about to give her more work to do. Soon she’ll be formatting the manuscript ready for publication!

I feel like I’ve been writing my unschooling books forever. Many, many times I’ve wanted to walk away from them. The amount of work needed to finish them seemed enormous. I thought of dozens of reasons why I should abandon my books. In the end, I completed them because of the huge support of my friends and family.
.
I’ve learnt a lot from this experience:
Writing is hard work.
A deadline is a very useful tool.
We all need a team to encourage and help us.
We need people who believe in us.
We can do more than we might think.
We all have something valuable to say and shouldn’t be afraid of sharing it.
I have a brilliant family and wonderfully kind friends.
I am hugely blessed.
Did you hear that we uploaded the manuscript for my first unschooling book Curious Unschoolers to Amazon about a week and a half ago? Now we’re waiting for a proof copy to arrive in the mail. It should be here very soon!
The Kindle version of this book is ready, waiting for me to hit ‘publish’. I want to publish both print and Kindle versions together. I hope they’ll be available by the end of the month.
Now that I’ve finished writing Radical Unschool Love, I’m going to put on my typo-spotting eyes and begin proofreading it. When that stage is completed, I can give the manuscript to Imogen for formatting. My daughter Charlotte will create the book’s cover. We have already designed it.
I’m happy with both my books, but I think Radical Unschool Love is going to be my favourite. I do love LOVE! It’s the foundation of everything, isn’t it?

Of course, the second photo is the cover of Curious Unschoolers! (There are a couple of justification errors in the text in this version of the cover, but we fixed them before we uploaded the image to Amazon!)
