I’m writing a children’s series about online safety. This page follows the project, and the research journal below records how it comes together.
The Project

An ongoing project, documented as it unfolds. Concept, research, writing, illustration, and all the decisions that go into a book for young readers learning to move through the digital world.

Production & Release
The final stretch to publication, and putting the books into young readers’ hands.
Originality and Care
The series will be written and illustrated from a clean slate. No existing characters, story worlds, or published illustrations are used as a base. Research sources, when quoted, will be attributed. Anything sensitive, particularly the experiences of children online, will be handled with the help of professionals working in the field. Decisions about publication, distribution, and any accompanying materials will be made with the welfare of young readers placed first.
