Earlier this month I signed a contract with Lion Hudson to write a 45k word-text with the working title of ‘Parenting in a Digital Age’, building upon the kind of work that I do in my Social Media for the Scared course.

I will be crowdsourcing a lot of the material in a Facebook group, plan online surveys/conversations, but first … a pile of books/online material to read.

The manuscript is due end of May 2013, with the book due to be released in January 2014. See related posts.
