We wrote a thing. And then we wrote about the thing. Here, we share how much we learnt while writing for and editing our book. Mostly, that writing is the best part of our jobs. Even if we have to do it mostly in the after-hours. More in the #LoveLD mag

A lot can happen in a week, and the last one was a rollercoaster of precious successes and disappointing failures, so what I’ll hold on to is the signing of another book contract with Routledge🎉. *Transformative Practice in Higher Education* should be out before the year’s gone!

Every once in a while a student will take the opportunity to go beyond providing simple feedback for a session and will use the ‘any other comments’ option to add a personal message that becomes my motto for the day, week, or month. This one seems like a keeper for life✨
