Well this is exciting! "Bite Sized", the beautiful, poetic, and moving new work from Fiona Hamilton, that will feature at our fundraising evening in Covent Garden, has just gone into print ready for its publication on 21 September.
Fiona was invited by her publisher to witness the process of what happens when words get turned into books, and she has written about the experience on Vala Publishing's blog - read it, and you will have a feel for why it is that those of us lucky enough to have had an advance glimpse at "Bite Sized" are quite so excited to see this book in print and in performance, and as part of the landscape and vocabulary that will inform not only those who care for someone with an eating disorder but just about anyone who cares about anyone or anything.

Fiona Hamilton For those of us who have personal experience of living with an eating disorder "Bite Sized" speaks volumes of shared experience; for those whose interest comes professionally it is likely to be illuminating; for those who have no experience of either, it connects with what it is to feel confused and vulnerable and a little lost, without losing sight of the absurd and the touching - the hope, the humour, and the love that are the blessings of being human. It also has an important future ahead of it destined as it is to be used in workshops to enhance understanding of people affected by eating disorders and their carers.
Charlotte's Helix is proud to be a part of the next stage in the life of this book, the part when it sees the light of day, out of those plastic wrapped palettes and onward from bookshop, to spoken word, to shared work of art.
