Just published, Tiny Essentials of a Fundraising Strategy by Maggie Taylor and Ilene Hoyle
Strategy scares people, because it sounds like it should involve something substantial, like a war or at least an invasion. But at its heart strategy is just knowing where you want to get to, and working out the best way to get there. In this Tiny book Maggie Taylor and Ilene Hoyle have stripped away the mystique and mystery, replacing it with a logical, straightforward and fun account of why a sound strategy matters, how you can go about getting one and how you can make sure it works for you and your organisation.
‘Short, simple and effective. A pain free way to implement your fundraising strategy.’

If you think education is expensive, try fundraising for it. You could save a fortune.
Initial investment: £6.95. Potential return: up to £26,000.
Contrary to what many believe, education doesn’t have to come at a price. Anyone can raise the funds necessary to pay their way through academic life, without getting into debt.
So says former drama student Lyndi Smith. She should know; she raised over £26,000. In her new book Free Degrees Lyndi explains and illustrates what it takes to raise money to pay for education, start to finish. For just £6.95, what better investment could there be for yourself, or as a present for a son, daughter or anyone starting on the road to life?

The Field by the River by Ken Burnett
‘A simple walk in the woods becomes a year-long adventure packed with mysteries, insights and wonder, often all on the same page. Ken’s ‘Field’ will make you happy and, possibly, consider investing in rugged new footwear.’
Emma Thompson
Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter
‘Ken Burnett’s delicious storytelling makes Kerkelven come alive as he surprises, entertains and enchants us. I hope The Field by the River will establish the author as the modern successor to White and Thoreau. It has inspired me to take better note of the living riches that surround us when we are out walking.’
Indra Sinha
Author of Animal's People, short-listed for the 2007 Man Booker prize
‘In the world of news we’re surrounded with fast-moving stories of horror, destruction and pain. The Field by the River is an effective antidote, being gently comforting and mellow. Yet you’ll also learn a lot of zoology, a bit of botany and a smattering of hydrology.’
Natalie Bennett
Editor, Guardian Weekly
‘I have a sneaking suspicion this could take off in A Year in Provence kind of way’
Tiffany Daneff
The Sunday Times
‘Beautifully observed and charmingly written, his book is a homage to nature, wildlife and the true wonders of the great outdoors.’
