Navaselva, The Call of the Wild Valley

 


How we came to publish this one

Author Georgina Wright was originally a client of Debz Hobbs-Wyatt and Debz recommended this book for The Red Telephone. I agreed that the writing is beautiful and the theme very pertinent to our life today.     

The title

Navaselva is Georgina’s own invention. It is based on her a ‘not quite so wild’ region in Spain. You can read more about it here.  

Some notes about the process

Georgina had pretty well gone through a full structural edit with Debz, so our team only needed to do the copy edit, and the five usual proof-reads.  

The cover

The book is illustrated throughout by Ruth Koeningsberger, We’ve given a special  finish to the cover picture so that it looks textured.  

Some notes about style

Georgina uses a very lyrical voice. She give us a very strong sense of time and place.

Who we think the reader is

As we have published through The Red Telephone we’re primarily seeing this as a Young Adult novel. One of the main characters Jo Ray is in fact a young adult. The story could also comfortably be read by younger teens. Certainly an adult readership that is interested in ecology would also enjoy the novel.     

What else

Georgina has arranged a series of events and we’re even thinking of including one that involves a choir. This is a hot topic so is of interest to many.
