Publishing Challenges

Today we visit the writing blog of Helen Ginger, a long-time editor whose weekly writing e-zine has a ten-year popular history with authors. Helen writes about all things related to writing and publishing. We tell the back-story of using Terraskin, a non-wood-pulp paper made of calcium carbonate. It's no accident that we're visiting a blog called Straight From Hel so click over and find out why even the best intentions can go awry.


Welcome to Day 6 of the blog book tour for Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It by JoAnn Deak Ph.D. and illustrated by Sarah Ackerley. This innovative and timely picture book is a fun and engaging way to teach children that they have the ability to stretch and grow their own brains.

Junior's first word was "brain". A fitting choice to add to his library. :)

Just read the behind-the-scenes process for bringing JoAnn Deak's book, Your Fantastic Elastic Brain, to fruition. Thankfully, everyone involved persevered, in spite of the problems and roadblocks, to make this book a reality. As seen in the comments on Helen Ginger's blog, you've already got others thinking about problem-solving and alternative methods for creating environmentally friendly books. And thanks for the opportunity to win all of LLP's books.

The post is a perfect snippet of what we've gone through at LPP to steer the industry onto a more thoughtful production path. And, the "situation" brought our understanding to such a high level that it wasn't experienced in vain. I can't wait to see what we come up with next! Thanks, Dani!
