Publish With Libri NTL Institute Books Child's Eye Books Alexander Books As Memories Fade About Us
Titles published under the Green Frigate Books imprint aim to explore the horizons of the natural and built environments, and the relations of humans within them. The goal of the imprint is to reach its readership by producing works that fall in the cracks between those offered by traditional academic and popular presses. Specific categories include ‘Design, Interiors and Architecture’ and ‘The natural and built environments’. In common with Libri Books, the imprint should be of interest particularly for members of ‘communities of practice’ in the natural and built environments.
About the Book: This book of short stories and poems is a compilation of the winners of the Lockdown Lit Prize for Children. Entrants were invited to write about anything they chose. The competition aimed to provide a release for imaginations pent up by lockdown. The number of entries was far greater than anticipated, with the stories arriving individually, in school groups and some from overseas! There were poems, picture stories, funny stories, scary stories and some that were very personal.
The stories were put into three categories based on age, not subject matter. The standard of entry was very high – it was clear that the teachers and parents have been doing their job on developing their children’s writing skills. Any profits from the book will go to the NHS Charity.
About the Editor: Steven Lane is the Commissioning Editor for Child’s Eye – the children’s literature section of Redshank Books. He previously worked in FE and HE and the public and private sector.
