I’m in the editorial minutia for my upcoming book.

In the spirit of the book, I’m opening up previews with beta readers over the next week or so.

If you’d like to be involved, DM or @ me and I’ll get you on the list.

(Your name will be in a special β€˜Thank you’ section)

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X We will stop posting from our official editorial accounts on the platform, but X users can still share our articles
