Kickstarter - Books On The Hill Publishing
As you know Dear Reader I am always on the hunt for new books and here I have some news on how to help a very good cause and get some very cool sounding books.
It is estimated by the NHS that 1 in 10 readers in the UK have dyslexia; this is a learning difference that primarily affects reading and writing skills. It does not anyone from achieving. Books On The Hill has been always passionate about helping people who have dyslexia, or any difficulty with reading, to access the joy of good fiction. These days many publishers are making a lot of effort to have high quality books available for children with dyslexia but there has been a gap in the market for books targeted towards adults.
Books On The Hill (BOTH) Publishing have this month started a kickstarter to help publish high quality genre tales for adults. The kickstarter is looking to publish 8 great books this year (after only a few days already funding for three have been secured) and there are some great rewards to choose from too!!
Oh you wanted to know about the books well of course I am here to tempt…erm help
