My own iPad app, Tablet Tales, is now available free. It is a portal to my new writing especially for the iPad, along with eight essays and articles and two of my currently out of print books, revised and presented as ebooks. I'll add more content from time to time. For more information go to TABLET TALES APP.

App Type Ltd, the company I worked with on the design and development of Tablet Tales is now offering a service called "App Editions". The service allows authors to distribute their books through the Apple App Store in their own personalised app, in a way that is affordable and leaves creative and commercial control in the hands of the author. More details can be found at www.app-type.com or by contacting enquiries@app-type.com.

National Literacy Trust Conferences: Developing lifelong readers and learners.
  20 March, York
21 March, Birmingham

22 March, London

Aidan will be appearing as a guest speaker at three National Literacy Trust conferences this March. In light of the new draft curriculum being open for consultation, and its imminent application, this one day conference will provide teachers with practical approaches to teaching reading across the whole school in the context of the new curriculum. Sessions on research and pedagogy will be complemented by a discussion from Aidan on the role of children's literature and he will provide inspiration for developing children as readers.

The Italian edition of Dying to Know You (Muoio Dalla Volglia Di Conoscerti), translated by Beatrice Masini, has been published by Rizzoli.

 

The Brazilian edition of Postcards from No Man's Land (Postais da terra de ninguém), translated by Simone Campos, has been published by WMF Martins Fontes Ltda.
