@lydiaruffles @FaberAcademy Hello there! Thanks so much for this - @nathanfiler is one incredibly special writer and working together on his book was a total joy. The process itself - as is so often the way with non-fiction - was collaborative in that we talked about what a book

like Nathan& #39;s might do - in terms of opening up a debate rather than offering a single position on mental health - and then as the book to shape we worked to make sure that the chapters were making accessible some super sophisticated social, medical and cultural positions

and taking the reader with them. At least that& #39;s what I hope the editorial process was... it resulted in a book that can still reduce me to tears upon reading at least three chapters.

What I worry about is that it was more like this - but @nathanfiler and his agent @AgentSophieL can tell you if this is unnervingly accurate. This sketch should definitely be called author and editor, not author and agent... https://youtu.be/_LC0JjvAJt8 ">https://youtu.be/_LC0JjvAJ...
