Alicja Syska and Carina Buckley: friendship through writing
Show notes
Writing is magical. It can take your thoughts and ideas and spread them further than you could reach alone. It can unite a group of colleagues in pursuit of a common goal to build a field. And it can mediate and strengthen a creative and rewarding friendship. Alicja and Carina share their experiences of writing together and collaborating on the production of their book, How to be a Learning Developer in Higher Education - where the idea for the book first came from (a Greek beach), what their experience of editing a book was like (compiling the index will never be forgotten), and what writing means to them (everything).
