Press Reviews
Alais Winton, author of Diary of a Dyslexic School Kid
Life After School is a brilliant idea for a book, which will help young people to remember that if they are struggling in school there is a positive life beyond that. The personal stories and accounts are well worth reading.
Marcia Brissett-Bailey, Author, speaker, Careers Adviser in SEND, Dyslexia Advocate
Life After School is an inspiring and empowering read. The stories offer real hope, practical advice, and encouragement for dyslexic young people, where it can often feel like we don't fit - until we find spaces designed for our minds. As a careers adviser, I'll be recommending it to the students I support.
