How Going Gluten-Free Transformed our Home
Hi, I’m Melissa, Beth asked me to explain how going gluten-free made a difference in our household. I have a
Here is a teaser.
The cost of hiring a voice artist and creating the finished audio ran into thousands, so I didn’t release the audiobook at the same time as the paperback and ebook.
Ever since the launch of my book, Dyslexia. Wrestling with an Octopus, I’ve had numerous requests for an audio version, and the narrator, Naomi Barton, has done a fantastic job in bringing the book to life. I had hoped to voice it myself, but lack of technical audio skills, procrastination and perfectionism held me back. You can read my post about dyslexia and perfectionism here.
Having a child with dyslexia makes the already exhausting task of parenting sometimes overwhelming. I struggled to find answers to help my son Harry learn to read and spell, and finding time to read books about dyslexia was nearly impossible.
Busy parents will be able to listen to this audiobook when they are driving, cooking, hanging out, washing and doing the million and one practical chores they do every week.
Dyslexia is often inherited; therefore, not all parents with dyslexic children can read. Read this blog post to learn more about the causes of dyslexia. In making this information available as an audiobook, I hope all parents will be able to access the help they need.
I love Sarah Pitts’s illustrations in my paperback and was worried audio readers were going to miss out. I especially wanted readers to see my dyslexia octopus illustration. It’s easier to read here.
In the end, I created a companion guide that people can download, which contains all the weblinks and the illustrations.
After you’ve listened, I’d be very grateful for a positive review on whichever platform you purchased it. As I mentioned, audiobooks don’t come cheap (bread and water rations here until I’ve paid off the production costs).
Positive reviews sell books, so if possible, please make time to leave a quick review.
It means a lot to me to see parents enjoying my book. If you have a negative comment (or a positive one, for that matter!), email me at hello@dyslexiaoctopus.com
Hi, I’m Beth. Seven years ago, when I discovered my son had dyslexia, I had a ‘light-bulb’ moment and understood this explained many of my own difficulties. Ever since, I’ve been on a mission to discover the best ways to wrestle what I like to call the dyslexia octopus.
