OUR  BOOK... OUT  NOW

Throughout 2024 I had the privilege of coordinating this book project, which has taken the form of a collection of short personal essays from scientists who have become activists. One of my roles in the project has been to work with scientists to tell their unique stories in compelling, and sometimes emotionally vulnerable, ways - something that often doesn't come naturally to us!  

We hope that amongst the 20+ voices in in the book (mine included) there will be words, feelings and moments that resonate with anyone who reads it - whether you consider yourself a scientist or not.  I've certainly felt inspired and empowered by the journeys from knowing to acting that I've had the honour of immersing myself in this past year! 

With huge thanks to my fellow coordinators Dr Caroline Vincent & Dr Viola Ross-Smith, to our publishers O'Mara Books and to all who have otherwise contributed to the project, I'm delighted to share that the book is now published. It's priced under £10. It is available to order here (and in many other places online and in bookshops).

"Abi's 'Climate & Nature Questions' workshop at our 2024 conference was very successful and we received lots of positive feedback.  We feel that Abi's ability to communicate the science of the climate emergency in a relevant and accessible manner is a real gift, and we look forward to working together again in the future." - Fran Taylor, ACT Now Eco Conference

Rates

I operate as a sole trader and my (negotiable) rates will vary depending on the nature of work requested.  If you are a grassroots, community or charitable organisation looking for support, I'm open to working for a discounted rate. For-profit organisations interested in working with me are encouraged to consider the instability, precarity and hidden costs of freelance work and reflect these in any offers of work opportunities. Relevant guidance on fair day rates for freelance creators can be found here.

For work outside of York I will require rail fares to be covered.
