Preorders really help books to succeed! They also help bookstores to know what books to order and carry in stock.
As our way of thanking you for ordering a copy of How to Build a Human before it hits the shelves, Souvenir Press and I have some special rewards for you!
A family activity pack full of exciting experiments to try on with your kids
A bonus episode of NonFicPod
A signed bookplate
Simply buy from the bookseller of your choice, then email your receipt to preorder@emmabyrne.net before July 1st 2021. It’s as simple as that. The book is already available on Amazon but if I could suggest some alternatives..?
- Find your local bookshop here. Bricks and mortar bookshops are more than just retailers. They offer reading, community, and a chance to discover something new!
- Buy at Bookshop.Org here (affiliate link) which offers all the convenience of online shopping but also helps to support local bookshops.
- You can also preorder at Foyles and Waterstones
The activity pack and podcast will come via email, but if you’d like a signed bookplate you’ll also need to send me your mailing address. In the activity pack you’ll find lots of fun, simple, fascinating things you can try as a family. I’ve chosen the best research-backed experiments and exercises that will help spark creativity and build curiosity and compassion.
The NonFicPod episode includes the bonus segment (Shit I Wish I’d Known) which is usually reserved for the podcast’s patreon backers. In this segment I dive deeper into the process of researching, writing, and parenting.
And if you run a bookshop or library and would like me to appear in person or via Zoom, please let me know! You are heroes and I’ll do anything I can to help you stay afloat in these difficult times…
