Prof. Brian Cox has changed up his vocal delivery pretty dramatically and it works a treat. More authority, less starry-eyes wonder. Like it.

It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth is getting a fifth reprint! Amazing! Remember, all profits until the end of the year will be donated to mental health charities in memory of my brother James 🩵

Excellent workshop at @HarperCollins yesterday on Advance Information sheet copywriting - quote of the day was @JoRoseSings "you know a good line - it's like when you try on some new clothes and want to dance" 🪩

Loved doing this and could have talked to that lot for another couple of hours, easy :)
