Book Submitted: Holiday Time


Well, 'Literacy on the Left: Reform and Revolution' is 'finished'. I say 'finished', but I expect to be editorially advised how to improve it after the publishers have read it. Overall I'm pleased, but I do need some advice from the experts as to how to make it even better. after all, this is the first single authored 'big' book I've written.
I have a chapter to write before the end of August on poetry and some more to do on an edited book I'm putting together with colleagues. Then, I'll have the work to do on 'Literacy on the left'. Having submitted the book, despite the inevitable extra bits I will have to do, I feel that it is a major project moving towards the exit. Phew, what an experience it has been!!
Great news about the ESRC Seminar series on Poetry that I bid for with two colleagues from other Universities - We won the bid!! I'm hoping that much will come from it in terms of publishing and perhaps more money for research.
Yes, research in real classrooms after the academic world of literacy on the left - bliss.
Now for a holiday in wonderful Italy...
