The best advice on writing and publishing for children

Children's Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2027

At 40, a Fortune 500 employer paid Neil H. Solomon a $13,000 bonus on $6.5 million of revenue he had personally produced.
That check did not end his career. It opened a door he had walked past for years.

After nearly dying in a river in Costa Rica, Neil spent almost twenty years chasing one question:
Why do some people see opportunity everywhere, while others never see it at all?
The answer wasn't talent, money, or luck. It was perception.

Most of us live inside hidden architectures, invisible systems that quietly decide where we live, what we fear, how we work, what we owe, and what we believe is possible. We don't choose them. We inherit them. And we pay for them every day, in costs we never see.

The 1% Door is the story of what came next: the exit, the seven-year winter, the businesses built and lost, the deals made, the collapse that followed, and the rebuild in another country with a different currency.
It is also a different way of seeing.

Built from entrepreneurship, business systems, real estate investing, buying a business, partnerships, collapse, recovery, financial freedom, wealth building, money mindset, and international living, this book shows you how to spot the systems shaping your life, name what they are quietly costing you, and find the door you have been walking past.

This is not a traditional business book, a simple self-help book, or a typical business memoir. It is a guided way of seeing for readers questioning career change, corporate burnout, financial independence, and the default life they were taught to accept.

Inside this book, you will see: Why most people do not have an effort problem. They have an architecture problem.
 How hidden systems shape money, work, fear, family, location, and opportunity.
 What business, deals, partnerships, and failure can teach about freedom.
 Why waiting to live until retirement, until the kids graduate, or until things settle can become its own prison.
 How changing the country, currency, structure, or default can change the cost of an entire life.
 Why the path to a different life begins with perception, not permission.


Page by page, Solomon shows that fear is often inherited rather than examined, that money mindset is not about slogans but structure, that business failure can reveal more than business success, and that the door most people are waiting for may have been open the whole time.
Most people don't have an effort problem.
They have an architecture problem.

Solomon isn't a guru. He saw that the door was open, walked through, and came back so you could see it too.

"There is another room. The door was never locked. Most people never walk through. You can. I did. I'll show you where I found it."

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

The Tide That Turns

Second Wind

Since the Black Lives Matter movement, awareness of the need for racial justice has grown ever more powerful, globally. Like The Secret Barrister, The Colour of Injustice is a passionate call to reflect upon and re-examine Britain's relationship with justice. Lee Lawrence will tell the most compelling and outrageous stories of crimes against Black people in Britain (at best ignored, at worst covered up or colluded in by the state) and in doing so ask profound questions about contemporary British society.

Politicians have failed us. But democracy doesn't have to. Bought by special interests, detached from real life, obsessed with re-election. Politicians make big promises, deliver little to nothing, and keep the game rigged in their favour. But what can we do?With disarming clarity and a deep sense of urgency, acclaimed political theorist Hélène Landemore argues that electoral politics is broken but democracy isn't. We've just been doing it wrong. Drawing on ancient Athenian practices and contemporary citizens' assemblies, Landemore champions an alternative approach that is alive, working, and growing around the world: civic lotteries that select everyday people to govern, not as career politicians but as temporary stewards of the common good.When regular citizens come together in this way, they make smarter, fairer, more forward-thinking decisions, often bringing out the best in one another. Witnessing this process firsthand, Landemore has learned that democracy should be like a good party where even the shyest guests feel welcome to speak, listen, and be heard. With sharp analysis and real-world examples, drawing from her experience with deliberative processes in France and elsewhere, Landemore shows us how to move beyond democracy as a spectator sport, embracing it as a shared practice-not just in the voting booth but in shaping the laws and policies that govern our lives.If you've ever felt powerless, Politics Without Politicians will show you how we can take back democracy.

The Case for Citizen Rule

Politics Without Politicians

Money is never just personal. It is family. Your father drove an auto rickshaw so you could have more. You work hard so your children can have more. But somewhere between diamonds and dirt, many families lose the plot. We trade our most precious resource, time and energy, for money. Then we often trade that money for things that quietly weaken our family's future. Family Finance is not another book about mutual funds, market returns, or finding the perfect product. It is a plain-spoken, story-driven guide for Indian families who want to protect what they earn, plan for what is coming, and build lasting wealth for the people who depend on them. Through real stories from more than 500 families, Lokesh Tiwari reveals the blind spots that quietly sabotage households: owning assets everywhere but having cash nowhere, taking emotional debt to protect a relative's pride, spending without seeing the cost, delaying retirement planning, and withdrawing long-term investments for short-term appearances. At the heart of the book is E-GROW: Earn. Guard. Record. Objective-Based Planning. Wealth Creation. You will learn how to protect your family from financial shocks, handle debt, track money without complicated spreadsheets, calculate inflation-adjusted goals, understand investment products, build a portfolio, and stay invested long enough for compounding to work. This is a book about your family, not just your portfolio. Because finance was never really personal. It was always family finance.

Why the career ladder you were climbing has come apart, and what to do about it.Your job title may still be intact. The meetings continue; the monthly presentation still needs producing. But AI is already taking on the reporting, coordination, research and analysis work that once justified whole teams. The change seldom arrives with a dramatic announcement. It's more insidious than that: the hire is paused, the contractor is not renewed, the promotion evaporates.Written by someone building the tools behind this shift, The Next Rung looks at the knowledge-work middle: project leads, analysts, account managers, operations teams and managers whose jobs depend on orchestration. It traces the pressure from boardroom economics to kitchen-table arithmetic, and asks what happens when professional incomes and mortgages are exposed at the same time.Inside, you'll find: <ul> <li> The roles AI is quietly hollowing out </li> <li> Why the 'junior grind' is disappearing </li> <li> The 80/20 Collapse in professional work </li> <li> A practical audit of your exposure and runway </li> <li> The human capabilities that still matter </li> <li> Routes towards trades, portfolio work and community enterprise </li> <li> What AI's gains mean for housing, welfare and inequality. </li> </ul>This is a clear-eyed notebook from inside the transition, focused on judgement, resilience and building work with more human value. It will let you know where you stand, strengthen your options, and help you make your next move before the ladder disappears beneath you.

Too young to retire, too vital to stand still, too experienced to start from scratch? Welcome to your Bonus Years. Increased longevity has gifted us fifteen-to-twenty extra active, healthy working years, shattering the traditional linear career script of learning, working, and retiring.
