We have\u00a0received\u00a0an email from Dominic Leyton\u00a0and are posting it on our blog in case any of our students are\u00a0interested\u00a0in working with Dominic.\u00a0We are in no way affiliated with Dominic Leyton,\u00a0we have no knowledge about the project and are only passing information on. We wish any student the best of luck if they are\u00a0successful\u00a0in\u00a0working on the project.<\/p>\n

—————————————————————<\/p>\n

I am a screenwriter and playwright who has recently developed and written a children’s novel in\u00a0conjunction\u00a0with a charity called KidsCo that helps socially and economically deprived children.\u00a0http:\/\/www.kidsco.org.uk\/<\/a>\u00a0The charity is run by Camila Batmanghelidjh who has\u00a0appeared\u00a0on television shows such as This Morning,\u00a0News night\u00a0and Question Time.\u00a0http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Camila_Batmanghelidjh<\/wbr><\/a>.\u00a0The book will be initially published as an ebook with it’s own website which will be linked to the KidsCo website amongst others.<\/p>\n

I intend to donate all of the proceeds to KidsCo and this would continue should the book find a publisher\u00a0etc. Both the ebook and website would greatly benefit with some illustrations. I\u00a0was hoping this would perhaps appeal to one or more of your students. Due to the charitable\u00a0nature of the project I am unfortunately unable to offer any payment which I know\u00a0makes my proposal slightly cheeky. (I am not making any money on this myself.) However I feel this would be an\u00a0interesting opportunity\u00a0for an unpublished illustrator to be able to provide drawings for a new ebook and get their name out there.<\/p>\n

The story, titled THE\u00a0MAGIC WALNUT, is about a swan who overcomes his fear of flying with the help of an old mouse and a special magic\u00a0flying helmet. It is an allegorical tale with its subtext dealing with loneliness, overcoming emotional issues and ultimately finding self empowerment; all of which\u00a0are issues KidsCo have to deal with.\u00a0It is around 17,000 words and aimed at 7 to 9 year olds.<\/p>\n
