AI Kid – School Based Editing Project

I am delighted to announce an editing project for upcoming soon novel AI Kid!

First stop: Year 5 pupils from Goldenhill Primary School. Following a whole-class analysis of chapter one, I will be working with a group of volunteers to review and edit extracts and chapters from the book.

Discussion will be focused around examining characters, scenes, and storylines – just like real editorial feedback!

It is an exciting opportunity for children to experience working like real-life editors, and for me to gain invaluable real-life feedback from my target audience. Examples of the children’s feedback and reviews will be posted her later, and I hope to be visiting other schools soon. Contact me if you think your school might like to take part!

October 2025 – AI Kid first draft finished! Way ahead of planned schedule! Very exciting!

August 2025 – Derek Sufflebottom is thinking of writing his own book, proposed titles are: Words of Derek / Thoughts of Derek / 365 Days of Derek. Got any ideas or thoughts of you own? Get in touch – Derek might just listen!
