Atlas Obscura: Wild Life
I wrote about odd-looking orchids and sensational sea slugs for this Atlas Obscura book, my first one for adults! I was one of the contributing authors, and in great company. This book is absolutely packed with weird wonders that show how exciting and precious the natural world really is.
Without doubt, it is a very good thing that there are bright lights out there like Alice Harman, the book’s inventive writer.
Alice was very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Amazing workshop, thank you. Very inspiring and well delivered.
Alice is a joy to work with! She combines an exceptionally high level of attention to detail with a playful tone and a natural eye for inclusivity. I would happily trust Alice with all matters editorial, from a simple proofread to commissioning and managing a full project from inception to completion.
Alice Harman cleverly invites children to look at art in different ways … Encouraging curiosity, she turns art history into an adventure.
Alice is a dream to work with. She has a unique ability for communicating complex ideas to young readers, and is able to compose and edit text that is at once concise and brimming with personality. Matched with rock-solid research skills, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and the ability to visualise the end book, Alice is the ultimate children’s author and editor.
I LOVED working with Alice! If you’re thinking about it, do it! It will be one of the best ways you can invest in yourself and your author career.
