@corambeanstalk.bsky.social · 2y agoAt Beanstalk we spend a lot of time finding books which we think are 'Beanstalk brilliant' for children who 'don't like reading' Each school we work with gets a pack of brilliant Beanstalk books & we've just chosen 20 new titles for our 25/26 packs www.corambeanstalk.org.uk/beanstalk-brilliant-books
Starting to write a new book and there's always a familiar feeling, like being at the bottom of a mountain with a long path ahead. I recognise this place, though. So - Head down. Foot forward. I need a bit of grit and focus and I will soon be halfway up. #kidslit #kidsbooks #kidlit #writing

Baroness Kidron likens the Government proposals requiring creators to opt their works out of AI training to "a corner shop from which you can steal, unless they post a message saying you must not." www.thebookseller.com/comment/a-cr...
A crossroads for copyright
The government’s consultation on AI is economically and strategically disastrous, and we must fight back.
