October/November news from author Elizabeth Jade
Many of you will have had a stressful time over recent months, whether it’s been adjusting to new situations at school, financial concerns, and so on. This has resulted in some people struggling with their mental health for the first time or finding their existing anxiety or depression amplified. As someone who has struggled in this area since their teens, I really do understand how hard that can be. I also understand how hard it can be to talk about it, but it is so important to do just that. By supporting each other, we can all get through this together.

How important is cover design?
Having spent many frustrating hours creating a story, typing it out, proofreading the text and then sweating on getting the darned thing published, I suppose anything that helps to sell the book is important and cover design certainly helps in that regard!
